Mission Statement

The Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut is a "home away from home" primarily for families of children who are being treated at nearby hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Trees of Hope Benefit Event

Trees of Hope with KidsTrees of Hope is an annual display of elegantly decorated themed holiday trees, a holiday boutique, and entertainment by local musicians, individual performers, and student choirs. At the conclusion of the event all of the trees on displayed were raffled off.

Many come to celebrate with us as local businesses, corporations, community groups, schools, municipal offices, families, and individuals donated artificial trees for the Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut 's "Trees of Hope" fundraising event.

This year, the Trees of Hope was a huge success, displaying a dazzling showcase of trees, a tree raffle, musical entertainment, visits from Santa. A perfect family event.
