ABOUT THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE
The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho supports families of ill or injured children by keeping them together and giving them a place to rest and refresh. In 2017 they turned away 41 families because all the rooms were full. That number doubled in 2018. As a result of the increased demand for their support services, they are building a new Ronald McDonald House in Boise.
The new Ronald McDonald House will accommodate three times more families which means the charity can serve all families that need assistance and that no one is turned away.
