House Resolution No. [insert number] 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 into a global network of over 385 houses, 270 family rooms, and more than 40 Care Mobiles, including five locations in Michigan. These facilities offer families a place to stay, meals, and emotional 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 alone and has developed over one thousand programs across sixty-two countries. The organization also extends its services to underserved communities through Care Mobiles that deliver dental care, medical treatment, and health education. The House of Representatives honors the work of the Ronald McDonald House Charities and recognizes their contributions to families and communities as they celebrate their 50th anniversary from October 2024 to October 2025.
