2023 Annual Report

A Message From Our Leadership

A year of development and growth.

Cristina Vetrano Chief Executive Officer

Board of Directors

2023 was a year of development and growth for our organization. We were thrilled to merge with RMHC Greater Houston-Galveston, a milestone that broadened our reach and strengthened our ability to support families and serve the community beyond the Texas Medical Center. This merger not only expanded our footprint but also welcomed new board members and staff, whose passion and commitment have invigorated our mission. Our new name is Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Houston. Our core programs - Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Lounges - continued to thrive. In 2023 we enhanced our JoyFULL Eats program to include even more meals and snacks. We also expanded by curating over 1,000 family activities, more social work support and increased educational resources. Thanks to the merger, the Care Mobile has extended our outreach to underserved communities throughout the Greater Houston area. I am deeply grateful for the trust and support we receive from our families, donors, and community partners. Your belief in our mission drives us to continually seek ways to enhance our services and impact. As you review the following pages, you will gain insight into the inner workings and achievements of this amazing organization. I eagerly anticipate the opportunities the coming year will bring and invite you to join me on this journey.
