Your Support Can Make a Huge Difference.
Every child and family needing the help of Ronald McDonald House Ozarks has a story, and no two stories are the same.
For families, the Ronald McDonald House provides a “home-awayfrom-home” during their child’s hospitalization, most traveling far from home for medical treatment. Our families of seriously-ill or injured children are facing trials no child should have to face. For children, the Tooth Truck (our Ronald McDonald Care Mobile) provides healthy smiles and a restored self-confidence that cannot be contained.
Your support of the Red Shoe Gala allows these families and children to continue to walk over the threshold of Springfield’s two Ronald McDonald Houses; and step up to the Tooth Truck and feel cared for, empowered and special.
We all walk a different path in life, but together we can keep the Ronald McDonald Houses open for families who need to be mere steps away from their seriously-ill or injured children; and the Tooth Truck on the road for children to be a short walk away from cavityfree smiles. Join us and PUT YOUR RED SHOES ON to provide help and hope to those who need it most!
Our Story
Ronald McDonald House Ozarks: Facts and Figures
Ronald McDonald House near Cox South
The Tooth Truck
Located just across from Cox South Hospital, Springfield’s first Ronald McDonald House opened its doors 37 years ago. The House has welcomed over 11,950 families in need, providing a place to call home, meals, hope and support during one of the most difficult times of their lives. The House also serves as the administrative hub for Ronald McDonald House Ozarks.
The Tooth Truck (our Ronald McDonald Care Mobile) provides dental treatments and prevention education for local at-risk children, primarily in school-based settings. During the past 22 years, our mobile dental clinic has helped over 34,000 kids qualifying for free/reduced school lunches, regardless of whether or not they can access Medicaid coverage. Our goal is to complete every child’s treatment plan, resulting in more than $25.9 million in services so far!
Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Kids
Healthy Smiles Academy
Springfield’s “House Within a Hospital” is on the sixth floor of Mercy Kids, welcoming nearly 4,600 families over the past 12 years and allowing families to be just steps away from their children. The House can accommodate up to 10 families every night for overnight stays, and even more families who benefit from daytime-only visits.
Nearly 14,500 children have participated in the Tooth Truck’s Healthy Smiles Academy, an on-site, daily toothbrushing program held at local schools and nonprofit organizations. This partnership with the community teaches children healthy hygiene habits by learning and doing every day.
