About
THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE (RMH) CHARITIES OF NWFL, INC. PROVIDES A 26 BEDROOM HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR FAMILIES WITH SERIOUSLY ILL OR CRITICALLY INJURED CHILDREN BEING TREATED AT HOSPITALS IN THE PENSACOLA AREA. THESE FACILITIES INCLUDE SACRED HEART HOSPITAL, NEMOURS, BAPTIST HOSPITAL, AND WEST FLORIDA HOSPITAL. RMH SERVES FAMILIES PRIMARILY FROM BAY, SANTA ROSA, ESCAMBIA, WALTON, AND OKALOOSA COUNTIES, BUT HAS SERVED FAMILIES FROM OTHER STATES AND COUNTRIES. THE HOUSE INCLUDES A FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN, LAUNDRY ROOM, FITNESS ROOM, PLAYROOM, NURSING NOOK, FREE WIFI, COMPUTERS, AND AN OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND WITH A BASKETBALL GOAL FOR FAMILIES STAYING AT RMH. OTHER COMMUNITY PROGRAMS INCLUDE ART THERAPY, ANIMAL THERAPY, MASSAGE THERAPY, AND ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. OUTSIDE COMMUNITY PARTNERS PROVIDE DENTAL AND EYE CARE FOR THE FAMILIES IN THE HOUSE AS WELL AS PEDIATRIC SERVICES FOR SIBLINGS STAYING AT RMH. THESE SERVICES ARE AT NO COST TO THE FAMILIES. VOLUNTEERS PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SERVING OUR FAMILIES. IN 2018, 6,694 VOLUNTEERS LOGGED IN 21,926 HOURS. THE LARGE COMMUNAL KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES TO SHARE MEALS WHICH ARE PROVIDED BY COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS, OR TO PREPARE THEIR OWN FOOD IF THEY CHOOSE. OUR MEAL PROGRAM SERVED ALMOST 51,000 MEALS TO FAMILIES IN 2018. FAMILIES ARE ASKED TO CONSIDER A DONATION OF 10 PER NIGHT, BUT A FAMILY IS NEVER TURNED AWAY FOR INABILITY TO PAY. THE ACTUAL COST PER NIGHT TO HOUSE A FAMILIY, AS WELL AS PROVIDE MEALS AND SERVICES, IN 2017 WAS 101. RMH IS LICENSED BY MCDONALD'S CORPORATION TO USE THE BRAND NAME WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED TODAY. MCDONALD'S CORPORATION CONTINUES TO PROVIDE OUR PROGRAMS WITH VALUABLE TRAINING AND NETWORK OPPORTUNITIES, HOWEVER, LIKE EVERY RMH, WE DEPEND ON OUR OWN COMMUNITY FOR THE MAJORITY OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT, FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL GIFTS AND PLEDGES, AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS. FOR 2018 WE SERVED 1,094 FAMILIES FOR AN AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY OF 7 NIGHTS. IN ADDITION, RMH SERVED 391 GUESTS WHO DID NOT NEED OVERNIGHT SERVICES, BUT NEEDED A MEAL OR A PLACE TO GO WHILE THEIR CHILD WAS RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE AVERAGE OCCUPANCY WAS 79% FOR THE YEAR. AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY FINANCE COMMITTEE OVERSEES THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES, INCLUDING WORKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM TO PROVIDE AN OUTSIDE AUDIT. AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OVERSEES INVESTMENTS ON A QUARTERLY BASIS.
