| Services: | The Ronald McDonald House was built to provide a home away from home for the families of seriously ill children being treated in Portland area hospitals. It is a safe and quiet place where family members can get away from the hospital environment, give and receive support to other families facing similar situations and ease some of the stress associated with their child’s health. |
| Fees: | $10 per night, however, no family is ever turned away due to inability to pay. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted. Families actively share in keeping the House clean and tidy for themselves and other guests. # Families must be respectful and tolerant of other families in the House, as they are all facing similar challenges. $10.00 per night, but other arrangements are considered if necessary. |
| Hours: | # Families may check-in between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm. Once check-in is complete, families are given a key card that permits them to come and go as necessary. One room per patient. |
