Ronald McDonald House Vermont depends on the generosity of donors, community members and partners to provide hope, caring and support to the families who stay with during the hospitalization of a child.
Over 70% of our funding comes from individuals and the community, with the remaining 30% provided by local McDonald’s Owner/Operators. While operationally it costs $150 a night per family to provide housing and supportive services, families are never asked to pay.
