"Where would we be without you?" It’s a phrase you hear often in hallways at Ronald McDonald House New York.
At the House, we have a small staff of over 40 people who serve families with open, generous hearts and helping hands—every single day.
Our leadership team includes a Board of Directors and a Board of Associates made up of some of the kindest, smartest minds in the financial, medical, and retail communities; as well as members of the media, legal, apparel, and maritime communities. These diverse, highly respected leaders offer valuable insight into how we can provide the best possible support solutions for our families.
