Portland East House Remodel & Expansion
Since opening its doors in 1997, our Portland East Ronald McDonald House has been a sanctuary for families facing pediatric medical crises, providing warmth, comfort, and care when they need it most. But after decades of serving thousands of children and families, our East House was urgently in need of renovation.
In 2025, we completed a $2.5 million Portland East House renovation—our largest ever! The House was closed for five months, but thanks to our generous community, we added five new Respite Rooms, refreshed all guest suites, doubled our kitchen space, upgraded ADA-accessible and common spaces, introduced inspiring murals, and made essential behind-the-scenes improvements—emerging stronger and more welcoming than ever for families.
“Our family stayed at Portland East House twice this year and were blessed by “one less thing to worry about.” Our kids earned money and chose to give a portion of their earnings to you!”

More Than a Meal — A Commitment to Care
A warm meal means comfort and care. Through our Meals from the Heart program, families have access to free, nourishing meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so they never have to worry about what comes next. More than food, these shared meals create moments of connection and respite, bringing families, volunteers, and our community together when it matters most.

Modernizing Our Brand in 2025
Earlier this year, Ronald McDonald House Oregon introduced a refreshed brand identity to better share our mission and engage the next generation of supporters. While staying true to our purpose—supporting families during medical crises—our updated brand more clearly reflects the impact of Family Stays and the care, resources, and community we provide every day.
Watch the video below to learn more about how we tell our mission story and why it matters.
Hospitality à la Carte
Our Hospitality à la Carte program brings comfort directly to hospital hallways. Through our signature carts stocked with snacks, essentials, and care items, we offer families small moments of relief at their child’s bedside—proof that even simple acts of hospitality can make a big difference.

Sweets, treats, games, and necessities were delivered to 15,147 Patients, Families, and Medical Workers in 2025
As a local 501(c)(3), we rely almost entirely on the generosity of our Oregon and SW Washington community. Every dollar raised stays here, helping families through their hardest moments. We are deeply grateful for your 2025 support—it reminds our guest families that they are never alone.

Our 2025 Finances
At the heart of our mission is a simple yet powerful idea: when a family is facing a child’s medical crisis, nothing else should matter. And, we couldn’t do what we do without the incredible support of our local communities. Here’s how your funding helped serve our mission:
