About

Located at 654 State Street, the Ronald McDonald House of Bangor is a welcoming, short-term accommodation for families whose children are receiving treatment at nearby medical facilities. Each year, this fourteen bedroom House is a home away from home for approximately 300 families who must travel far from home for their seriously ill or injured children. We provide the special kind of comfort, care, and support families need to help get through such uncertain times. Family ties are strengthened and emotional support is offered among families sharing the trauma of serious illnesses. The Ronald McDonald House of Bangor also offers a suite for children with suppressed immune systems. Many times children need to be near the hospital before, and certainly after, a bone marrow transplant. Being able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House in an efficiency unit cuts down on the number of days a child may have to be in the hospital. It also gives the family the ability to stay together yet be away from the general flow of the House.

Mission Statement
