House Tour
After serving dinner, two of our newest staff members went on a tour of the facility. They saw the Columbus Crew workout room, Columbus Blue Jacket floor, the Ohio State Buckeye floor (count the number of Ronald McDonald’s you see in the mural), and the 4-story treehouse and slides. They learned that the current Ronald McDonald House is the largest house in the country. Families travel from all over the world to receive top care for their children. After the tour, we helped clean up, pack up extra food, and bagged cookies and brownies for on-the-go snacks for the families.

The Ronald McDonald House is operated through the generosity of donors. Donations help the House support families of seriously ill children with a home away from home. As mentioned by our tour guide, Bob, "Some of these families fly into Columbus on a moment’s notice because of their child’s grave need for treatment. Often families don’t have the time or resources to bring all their necessities. Families focus on making it to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where they’ll receive the critical care their child needs from some of the best doctors in the world. Until we have been in the situation these families are in, we may never know what it feels like to sacrifice everything. But, we can be there to support them during a time when they need it most."
