About the House
The Southern Appalachian Ronald McDonald House is a program of the Southern Appalachian Ronald McDonald House Charities, Inc.
Welcome to our House. Enjoy the tour as you get a “sneak peek” about who we are from the inside to the outside.
- A safe haven for children and parents of children
- A place for families to be away from the hospital environment
- A place to share with other families who understand your pain & heartache
- A place to “try” to maintain some normalcy during a time of crisis
This is the House
Where families meet
To eat and sleep,
To find their strengths
And dry their tears,
To look forward with Hope
To better years.
This is the House
That becomes their Home.
This is the House
That Love Built!
