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, with a mission focused on removing barriers to healthcare and promoting healing. Over the years, it has expanded significantly, operating more than 385 Ronald McDonald House programs and serving millions of families globally, thanks in part to over one billion dollars in donations from McDonald's Corporation, its franchisees, and customers.

In Arkansas, six Ronald McDonald House Charities programs directly 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 programs and ensure that all families have access to the resources necessary for the best health outcomes for their children.
