Inside the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Omaha and Angels Among Us.
Guest Room
Twenty new rooms join the 20 existing (and now renovated) rooms so we can serve 40 families a day.
Second floor family room
Family rooms on three levels of the House are great gathering spots to watch a movie, crush Dad in “Madden” or argue over the remote – just like you would back home.
Exterior view
This is a view of the new wing of the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Omaha. The House is located at 620 S. 38th Ave. An open house is planned Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The public is invited.
Dining Room
Our completely renovated kitchen-dining area is the natural hub of activity in the House. Thanks to Mustaches for Kids Omaha, it has more space, more cooking stations and more storage. Plus a private dining area where families can enjoy being a family.
Expanded kitchen
Mustaches for Kids Omaha helped equip the House with more cooking stations and more storage.
Kids Corner
This sweet little corner in the newly remodeled kitchen is designed to keep the kiddos busy coloring and doing puzzles while supper is being whipped up.
Family room

Angels Among Us offices
The goal for the Angels Among Us offices was to create an inviting space for families to visit and feel special. Thanks to the CRE Summit, the interior includes not only offices for staff, but a conference room and mini beverage center for families. Fluff Interior Design donated their time to making the first impression very special for families.
Angels Among Us reception area
This is the reception area in the Angels Among Us offices. The expansion of the House created an opportunity to bring the two organizations under one roof in order to serve more families efficiently and conveniently.
Check-In Room
Arriving at an unfamiliar place at odd hours under difficult circumstances is stressful enough. The new check-in room, complete with furniture donated by Hayneedle, offers families an inviting, relaxing – and private – area to take care of what needs taking care of when they first arrive at the House.
Toy Room
Sponsored by the CL Werner Foundation, this glass-walled treasure trove holds donated new toys for kids upon check-in, their birthdays and holidays. And sometimes game nights. Because they’re kids and kids need toys. It’s science.

Guest Room
Guest room of the newly expanded Ronald McDonald House Charities in Omaha.
Guest bathroom
Each guest bedroom has a private bathroom. Some are wheelchair accessible.
Playroom
The kids in our House are facing abnormal situations, so they need a space where they can just be normal kids. With the help of Bland & Associates, we created a cheerful playroom for building towers of blocks, hosting tea parties and even getting a little messy with crafts.
Family Room
This is the remodeled family room in the lower level.
Teen Room
Just because we’re an oasis for families with pediatric patients doesn’t mean all of those kids (or their siblings) are in elementary school. This space offers older offspring a chance to chill, do homework or whatevs – like roll their eyes at people who still say “chill” and “whatevs.” It’s OK. We understand.
Teen Room
Air hockey, table tennis and foosball keep families entertained.
Private Dining Room/Meeting Room
Most families prefer eating out in the open dining area with other families, but this space lets them have a quiet meal or meeting by themselves, if they so choose. It's also an allergen-free room for our friends who need to avoid nuts, gluten, and the like.
Pantry
Families can help themselves to non-perishable food items, paper towels, diapers, laundry detergent, toiletries and other daily necessities donated to the pantry.
A place to unwind
Being inside the House is always nice, but sometimes you just need some fresh air. Our brand new patio area was furnished by Hayneedle, and offers families an opportunity to sit around a fire pit, watch the kids play in the backyard, grill a burger, or just take a much-deserved nap under the beautiful Nebraska sky.
A very, very fine house
The backyard has not one but two playhouses.
Peg wall
A peg wall with movable gutters allows for creative play with balls and-or water.
Having a ball
Creative play, doctors say, is good for healing.
A familiar face
Recognize this guy? He's been a fixture at the House since the beginning.
Open house
The public is invited to tour the expanded House on Saturday, May 11. The grand opening celebration includes a community fair with partner non-profits. It's free, and kids are most welcome!
Partners and programs expand services for kids and families.
