Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas (RMHC CTX)

RMHC CTX recently launched our newest Happy Wheels Cart at Texas Children's Hospital North Austin Campus! Sponsored by Primrose Schools in the Greater Austin Area, we are excited to begin serving pediatric and NICU patients in this new hospital. RMHC CTX now proudly operates seven Happy Wheels Carts, serving nine hospitals in the Central Texas area. These carts, powered by dedicated volunteers and stocked by generous donors, are pushed through pediatric hospital hallways, delivering comfort items such as snacks, blankets, toys, books, and toiletries directly to a child’s bedside. This year alone, RMHC CTX has already served over 16,300 individuals through the Happy Wheels Cart program, distributing over 24,200 comfort items to families and children in Central Texas hospitals.

We’re so grateful for our incredible partnership with Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi), which began in 1979 and has since raised over $22.4 million for Ronald McDonald House Charities across the U.S.! 💙💎 A special shoutout to our ADPi alum on staff—Kristin, Caroline, and Hannah G.—for continuing to support RMHC CTX. Locally, the women of UT ADPi @texasadpi and Texas A&M ADPi @aggie.adpi make an incredible impact through volunteer work in our Family Rooms, Happy Wheels Carts, and cooking meals for families in need. Not to mention their annual PiHop fundraiser, which always benefits RMHC! 🥞 Thank you, ADPi, for your unwavering dedication to keeping families close. 💛 #ADPiSisterhood #SupportRMHC #GiveBack #KeepingFamiliesClose #ADPiVolunteers

At Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas, breakfast tacos are always a favorite—and thanks to Tacodeli, our families enjoy them on the first Thursday of every month! This generous tradition, which began in June 2023, brings comfort to families during their stay. While we love working with local restaurants like Taco Deli, we also welcome volunteers who are interested in preparing meals for our families. Whether you’re an individual or part of a group, cooking breakfast tacos is a great way to give back and bring a smile to a family in need. Want to get involved?
