The House Resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which was established to provide essential services that support families and promote healing for children in need of healthcare. Since the opening of the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia in October 1974, the organization has expanded to include over 385 houses, 270 family rooms, and more than 40 Care Mobiles worldwide. In Michigan alone, there are five locations that offer families a place to stay, meals, and support while their children receive medical care.

The resolution highlights the significant impact of the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which has provided 2.7 million overnight stays to families in need in 2023 and has developed over one thousand programs across 62 countries. The organization not only assists families at hospitals but also extends its services to underserved communities through Care Mobiles that offer dental care, medical treatment, and health education. The resolution honors the contributions of the Ronald McDonald House Charities and recognizes their ongoing commitment to helping those in need as they celebrate their 50th anniversary from October 2024 to October 2025.
