The House that Love Built

We keep families close

Close to each other and the care and resources they need

We provide a warm and welcoming community of support and respite for families with seriously-ill or injured children. Services include:

  • Lodging
  • Meals
  • Kitchen access and fully-stocked pantries
  • Laundry facilities
  • An accredited K-12 school
  • Workout facilities
  • Supportive, family-focused programming

We take care of all these things so families can focus on the well-being of their child.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT: We, in partnership with our community, provide a comfortable and caring home away from home that supports keeping families together and reduces stress during a child's serious illness.

Support from McDonald's

The McDonald’s owner/operators of Minnesota and western Wisconsin who make up the Twin Cities Co-Op, along with McDonald’s corporate offices and their supplier network, are significant fundraisers and supporters, contributing over 20% toward our annual budget through various fundraising efforts, including Round-Up for RMHC, donation boxes and the Shamrock Shake promotion. Although the McDonald’s system is an important corporate partner, we rely on the support of the entire community and greatly value all financial and in-kind donations.
