The Southern California chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) began in 1977 with the planning of the region's first Ronald McDonald House in Los Angeles blocks from Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

RMHCSC Celebrates helping to keep families close. From providing a room for families to have a quick rest that only steps away from their child, A house for families to stay overnight near the hospital, or providing a weekend or a week away for a patient and a family to recharge and for a kid to learn to be a kid again. RMHCSC continues to work to help to keep families, communities, and patients close.
