RMHC of Oklahoma City Seeks Major Renovation

Generous donations, like the one from AbbVie, have helped
Ronald McDonald House Charities help thousands of
families in need.

It should not be a surprise to anyone that large expansions and renovations are very costly. Susan Adams, CEO of Oklahoma City's Ronald McDonald House, voiced the need for a larger facility to help more families. She predicted a long road ahead of fundraising and construction to achieve this goal. 

Adams stated in a recent interview that 414 families had to be turned away due to the location's limited space.

Pharmaceutical company, AbbVie, gifted $2.4 million to Oklahoma City's chapter. This generous gift will speed up construction efforts immensely, having the projected finish date to be in 2020. With this gift, the residence could expect 26 new rooms, a second kitchen, and more gathering spaces.
