More than 20 years ago, the Ronald McDonald® House opened its doors in Sioux Falls—and the community opened its hearts—to care for the families of seriously ill children. More than a place to stay, the House provides emotional support for moms, dads, brothers and sisters when they need it most.

When a child is seriously ill, everything changes. The care of that child becomes your number one priority. Long days and nights turn into agonizing weeks and months. While the hospital cares for the young one, families find solace at the Ronald McDonald House. A shoulder to cry on. A caring soul who has shared your pain. A story filled with hope. A homemade meal. A quiet room to call home.

It’s all here, in the house that love built.

In the past 20 years, our mission has grown. But this is just the beginning.
