Our Story Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks Facts and Figures.
Ronald McDonald House near Cox South:
Located just across from Cox South, the Ronald McDonald House has been a home to so many families over the years, providing beds, meals and support. Since opening its doors in 1988, the Ronald McDonald House near Cox South has welcomed more than 9,100 families in need, providing a place to call home just a few paces away from their seriously ill or injured child.
The Tooth Truck:
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®, fondly known as the “Tooth Truck™,” provides dental treatments and prevention education for at-risk children, primarily in school-based settings. A joint project between RMHC of the Ozarks and The Tooth Truck, Inc., the program has provided more than 44,000 dental appointments for over 17,000 children in over ten years of operation, which is valued at more than $10.6 million. The Tooth Truck also operates the “Healthy Smiles Academy,” an in-school daily toothbrushing program funded for its first 3 years by the Missouri Foundation for Health.
Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Children’s Hospital:
Since November of 2012, the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Children’s Hospital has been open to over 1,200 families in need, allowing them to stay just steps away from their seriously ill or injured child. Located on the sixth floor of Mercy Children’s Hospital, this 8,200-square-foot “home away from home” welcomes up to 10 families every night for overnight stays, and even more families who benefit from daytime-only hospital visits.
Your Support
Can Make a Huge Difference.
Every year, Ronald McDonald House Charities helps area children and their families.
Every family and child that comes to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks has a story, and no two stories are the same. To families, the Ronald McDonald House provides a refuge. These are families whose seriously ill or injured children are facing trials no child should have to face. To children, the Ronald McDonald House Care MobileŽ (fondly known as the Tooth Truck™) provides healthy smiles and a restored self-confidence that cannot be contained. Your support allows these families and children to continue to walk over the threshold of the Ronald McDonald Houses, or step up to the Tooth Truck and feel relieved, sheltered, and cared for. We all walk a different path in life, but together we can keep the Ronald McDonald House open for families who need to be mere steps away from their seriously ill or injured children and the Tooth Truck on the road for children to be a short walk away from cavity-free smiles. Thank you for putting yourself in the shoes of these families and children. Thank you for taking steps to provide hope to those who need it most.
Featuring Jake Simpson
OWN Network Star and Recording Artist Jake Simpson twice (2003 and 2004) won the top honors in the Adult Singer category on CBS’s Star Search with his powerful high tenor voice and threeoctave range. Growing up in Crocker, Missouri, making music has been one of the most important driving forces in Jake’s life. His sound has been influenced by Stevie Wonder, Steve Perry, Donny Hathaway and the classic style of Sam Cooke. Over the past few years, Jake has starred in the Roll & Roll revue entitled Arena: Born To Rock performing weekly at Rolling Stone Los Angeles in Hollywood, performed “Jake Simpson Live!” every Sunday “in residence” at The Grove in Los Angeles, and participated in numerous charitable concerts to raise money and awareness for persons living with HIV, the homeless and other disadvantaged people. Simpson has produced and recorded two albums including the holiday themed Star of Wonder and the prophetically entitled My Song which garnered positive reviews and radio airplay throughout the U.S. and Europe. In the spring of 2016, the Smithsonian Museum will build a display featuring Oprah Winfrey. In the exhibit, televisions will showcase one of her all-time favorite videos, Jake Simpson and Stevie Wonder, performing together.
