About us
Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Southern California (RMHCSC) is committed to providing comfort, care and support to children and families in Southern California through a variety of wellness and educational programs. Across the Southland, RMHCSC is working to create a community where children and families embrace life and healing with a sense of hope, enthusiasm, courage and joy. RMHCSC currently operates eight Ronald McDonald Houses® in Bakersfield, Loma Linda, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Orange and Pasadena. Ronald McDonald Houses located throughout Southern California help families stay close to their child when they need treatment for a serious medical condition. Our Houses provide a home-like setting, close to the region's top hospitals, where families can stay free-of charge for as long as necessary. We also operate Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at CHOC Children's Hospital in Orange and CHOC Children's at Mission Hospital. We are one of very few Ronald McDonald House Charities chapters across the world that operates a cost-free, medically-supervised Camp for children with cancer and their families, Camp Ronald McDonald For Good Times®. We support the children of our Southland communities by awarding scholarships to high–achieving high school seniors and providing grants to non–profit organizations working to improve the lives of children.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check in on us and most importantly to the firefighters and emergency responders who are working tirelessly to protect our communities. Update: our Ronald McDonald House Pasadena and Los Angeles Ronald McDonald House , along with our families and staff, remain safe from the fires but are located very close to them. The dangerous air quality is a serious concern as we prioritize the safety of those staying in our Houses. To safeguard our immunocompromised children, their families, and our staff from the hazardous air, we are asking for N95 masks and HEPA air purifiers. For those who have reached out asking how to support our Houses, please find donation details in the slides attached. Thank you. ❤️ #eatonfire #palisadesfire #sunsetfire

We’re so grateful to Edward Jones for continually making a positive impact in the community!

This Giving Tuesday, we were honored to join Ronald McDonald House Charities Global CEO Katie Fitzgerald, CDO Shannon Duval, FAHP, CFRE, and Mattel, Inc. CEO Ynon Kreiz for their inspiring annual Giving Tuesday Fireside Chat. The conversation highlighted the incredible connection between purposeful play and family well-being—values that both RMHC and Mattel champion. After the chat, we came together to build 1,000 Play Kits that will bring joy and comfort to RMHC families worldwide. A big thank you Mattel for your continued support and for an inspiring #GivingTuesday!
During this season of giving, Ronald McDonald House Charities is teaming up with Mattel, Inc. to bring joy and comfort to RMHC families around the world. I had the honor of joining Mattel Chairman and CEO, Ynon Kreiz, for their annual Giving Tuesday fireside chat, where we discussed the powerful connection of coming together to keep families together and strong during their most challenging times. RMHC and Mattel share a commitment to purposeful play as a key enabler to family well-being and the healing process for children. Mattel has supported local RMHC Chapters around the world for more than 10 years through volunteering, toy donations, board support and event sponsorships. Following the fireside chat, employees at Mattel HQ built 1,000 Play Kits. Filled with iconic toys like Barbie, Hot Wheels, and UNO, these kits will bring the power of play and togetherness to families at RMHC Chapters across the world. On behalf of the entire RMHC System and the families we serve, thank you to Ynon and all Mattel employees and Fatima Djelmane Rodriguez and the team at Ronald McDonald House Charities of SoCal (RMHCSC) as we, together, advance a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
