Ronald McDonald House of Memphis opened its doors in 1991 committed to providing essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need treatments at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our vision of a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children has driven our pursuit to identify how we can care for more families with children who are ill or injured within our region.

I am proud to share, this year, we are expanding our mission and services by opening the new Ronald McDonald House program in Jackson, TN for families with children being treated at Le Bonheur Children’s & Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, as well as actively collaborating with St. Bernard’s Medical Center in Jonesboro, AR.

In response to our current expansion of mission and to support our future vision of service, Ronald McDonald House of Memphis is honored to announce that we have officially changed our name to Ronald McDonald House West Tennessee & Northeast Arkansas.

Our new name reflects our organizations growth in service, programs, partnerships, and community engagement to show the expanded regionality of our mission. This new regional alignment unifies our mission’s purpose of caring for families with children who are ill or injured regardless of their location within our chapter. Additionally, it signifies to all communities that they are a vital partner in supporting the families who rely on our programs.

On behalf of all the families that are staying, have stayed, or will stay at Ronald McDonald House, we want to extend our deepest gratitude! There are many ways to support our mission, including financial giving, sending wish list items, volunteering and rounding up your purchase at McDonald’s.

New name. Same mission. Serving more children near the care they need with the family they love.

With deep appreciation,

Jill S. Crocker
Executive Director

At the Ronald McDonald House in Memphis, TN everything changed.

Your gift brings peace, relief, and hope to families like the Smiths.

“They provide meals for the families, they provide laundry services—like a home,” Dawn said.
“Anything that you do at your house—washing, drying, cooking your food—they help. I couldn’t ask for any place better to be.”
— Dawn Smith, Serenity’s mom

When Dawn and her daughter Serenity first arrived in Memphis, they were scared, far from home, and facing a life-changing diagnosis.

“I’m glad and honored that the Ronald McDonald House allows families to have that sense of peace, where they are able to come in and relate with other families. It’s just stress free.”

This is more than a house. This is a community.

Because of people like you, families like the Smiths don’t have to face childhood illness alone. Your gift helps keep sick children near the care they need with the family they love.

On behalf of the families who will call the Ronald McDonald House of Memphis home, thank you.
