January 7th is a special day for Ronald McDonald House of Central Iowa, because it is officially the anniversary of the opening of our House at MercyOne!
"Our first year has been exciting and challenging all at the same time. 2020 was a whirlwind of a year for everyone, especially for families with sick children. Fortunately we were able to adapt and continued to keep families close. We look forward to continuing to serve families for many years to come." - Meggie (MercyOne House Manager)
"2021 is a year of celebration for the RMH. Today we are celebrating our one year anniversary of the RMH inside MercyOne and that we successfully helped families during the pandemic. All year long we will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary of the Des Moines Ronald McDonald House. There is so much we don't know what 2021 will hold, but here is what we do know..... we are mission forward." - Brenda (Executive Director)
