Bill > HR1116

This resolution recognizes Ronald McDonald House Charities® for fifty years of service in supporting families with seriously ill children, highlighting the organization's significant impact both nationally and specifically in Arkansas. The resolution details the charity's mission of removing barriers and promoting healing, noting that since 1974, McDonald's Corporation, franchisees, and customers have collectively donated over one billion dollars to support programs in 62 countries. In Arkansas specifically, six Ronald McDonald House Charities® programs operate under one chapter, providing direct support to 3,518 children and their families annually. In 2023, local McDonald's franchisees and customers raised $967,000 for the Arkansas chapter, which translates to 9,670 overnight stays for families. The resolution officially recognizes the organization's commitment to helping families during challenging healthcare journeys and directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to Ronald McDonald House Charities® leaders by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives.
