On March 3rd, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama began construction on their long awaited expansion project.
Located on 1700 Fourth Ave. S., the organization serves families with children who are fighting cancer and provides comfort in the time of need.

With diligence, integrity and compassion, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama joins and aids families in their efforts to find hope, healing, happiness and growth, regardless of obstacles placed before them.
