The Family Room includes a comfortable seating area, a kitchen stocked with snacks, a children's play area, a half bath and the support of caring staff and volunteers. The Family Room has served more than 435,973 individuals since its opening and averages 1,400 visitors per month.

Description
The 36-bedroom Ronald McDonald House, open since July 1991, is a home, providing hot meals, laundry facilities and a place to rest. It has all the benefits of a house, such as a playroom, library, and two kitchens. More importantly, the Ronald McDonald House provides an environment of emotional support from staff members, volunteers and other families who are going through similar circumstances. Since the House opened in 1991 more than 16,125 families have called our House, home. In 2022, our House served 182 families. These families came from all of Tennessee's 95 counties, 66 counties in Kentucky, 42 other states, 2 U.S. Territories, and 14 foreign countries. Our average monthly occupancy was 77%, our average length of stay was 35 nights, and we typically have a waiting list of 4 families per night.
