Nine full-time staff members serve the Ronald McDonald Houses and Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Ozarks organization, which also operates a mobile dental clinic for at risk children called the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® (also known as the “Tooth Truck”). Our staff also includes 11 part-time employees, including the Vice President and 10 Family Care Managers that provide 24-hour management care for the Houses and guest families. Programs and services available to families include the Family Dinner Program (nearly 7 nights per week), a Family Fund for emergency expenses, and laundry centers and transportation at no cost. Most important is the hope, comfort and support shared with other families, volunteers and staff. In 2021, the average length of stay at the Ronald McDonald Houses per family was 10 days. In a typical year, 101 volunteers staff the Ronald McDonald Houses for 12 hours each day, 365 days a year, serving over 800 families. Additional volunteers also assist with outside projects.
