Our Mission

Ronald McDonald House Mountain West provides essential services that strengthen families, remove barriers, and help ensure the best possible outcomes when children need healthcare.

We are committed to providing exceptional programs with fiscal responsibility, accountability, and compassionate thoughtfulness.

Our History

Since 1988, we have brought peace of mind to families, allowing them to keep close when it mattered most.

Our Community

Our work relies on the generosity of friends and neighbors like you—from charitable foundations and corporations, to smaller groups and individuals who want to help families in need. We are building a community of care, where volunteers prepare meals to keep families fed, and donors provide funds to keep the lights on while fueling our growth.

Our Mission Partner

The Mountain West Operator’s Association is made up of an incredible group of McDonald’s franchise owner/operators who provide unwavering support for our mission. Through the McDonald’s “Round Up” program, “Fries for Families,” the Shamrock Shake promotion, and in other ways, they provide crucial funds to keep us going strong.

Our Accountability

We have achieved the highest possible ratings for efficiency, transparency, financial health, and impact from the most trusted independent evaluators of nonprofits in the United States, and the distinction of being one of Utah’s “Top Work Places” for seven straight years.
