The resolution recognizes Ronald McDonald House Charities for its fifty years of dedicated service in enhancing the health and well-being of children and their families, particularly in the state of Arkansas. Since its inception in 1974, the organization has provided essential support to families facing serious illnesses, helping to remove barriers and promote healing during challenging healthcare journeys. With significant financial contributions from McDonald's Corporation, its franchisees, and customers—totaling over one billion dollars globally—the charity has expanded its reach to over 385 Ronald McDonald House programs and has made a substantial impact on millions of families worldwide.

In Arkansas specifically, the charity operates six programs that support over 3,500 children and their families each year. In 2023, local fundraising efforts raised nearly $967,000, which facilitated approximately 9,670 overnight stays for families in need. The resolution emphasizes the ongoing commitment of Ronald McDonald House Charities to enhance its services and ensure that all families have access to the resources necessary for optimal health outcomes for their children.
