Celebrating 26 Years of Caring!!
On January 13, 1985, with the help of Akron Children’s Hospital, 140 local McDonald’s® restaurants, and countless volunteers, the Ronald McDonald House of Akron opened its doors Since then, the 20 bedrooms at Ronald McDonald House have been home to over 240,000 people from around the state and around the world. In those 26 years, Ronald McDonald House has taken care of families so they can concentrate on one thing: their children. Even after 26 years the mission remains the same: to care for the people who stay at our House. We welcome you to help us celebrate our past and our future. We are “The House that Love Built.”®

We would like to thank the local community for the extreme generosity and support you have provided to our house! On December 19th, The Akron Beacon Journal published items that we needed for our wish list, in this article. The local community responded and gave us so many items and such wonderful donations that we reduced our wish list tremendously. Thank you so much for your continued help in making the Ronald McDonald House of Akron "A Home Away From Home" for so many families!
