RMHC–HI provides two Ronald McDonald Houses with a total of 17 guest rooms to lodge seriously–ill children and their families while the child receives life–saving medical treatment on Oahu.

Families at the Ronald McDonald House receive comfortable and safe accommodations in a homelike environment that includes a fully–stocked kitchen, pantry and laundry room, internet access, and family–centered areas and activities. They are also provided with transportation to and from hospitals and the airport, and many other family support services and resources.

Families that must travel to Oahu for a child's needed medical treatments may temporarily reside at one of two Ronald McDonald Houses in Honolulu. RMHC–HI also accepts high–risk pregnancy moms from the neighbor islands. All guest families are referred to RMHC–HI by medical practitioners, social workers or insurance companies.

There is no fee to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. Families are asked to make a nominal contribution of $20 per night if they are able; however, no family is ever denied lodging because of an inability to make a donation. The actual cost to provide accommodations and services for a family is $125/night, paid for with the contributions of caring individuals, businesses, foundations, and community organizations.

Virtually everywhere. However, most of the families that stay at the Ronald McDonald House are from the Neighbor Islands. About 40% are from the Big Island, 35% from Maui, 10% from Kauai, 5% from Molokai/Lanai, 5% from the Pacific Islands, and 5% from the Mainland/Int'l.

All RMHC families have a child–patient that is being treated for a life–threatening illness or injury, including cancer, leukemia, heart problems, organ failure, major physical trauma, premature births, or other very serious medical condition.

Through its Ronald McDonald House program, RMHC–HI helps approximately 400 families each year, or 950 individuals.
