“Supporting the Ronald McDonald House expansion reflects Avangrid’s deep commitment to strengthening the communities we serve,” said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. “We are honored that the Avangrid Foundation can help families facing medical crises by contributing to a place that brings strength and stability when life feels uncertain.”

“The Avangrid Foundation is proud to contribute to a space that brings comfort, care, and stability to families navigating serious medical challenges,” said Pablo Colón, Director of Corporate Citizenship and Executive Director of the Avangrid Foundation. “Our partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities ensures more families can remain close to their loved ones during critical treatment and focus on their rest and recovery.”

The ribbon‑cutting event, held on Wednesday, March 5, 2026 at the Ronald McDonald House located in New Haven, marks a significant milestone in ensuring that families with children receiving care at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital have access to a supportive and comfortable home away from home.

The Mission Expansion Campaign adds eleven new guest rooms, allowing more families to access a comfortable place to stay with private bathrooms, TVs, and dedicated spaces for rest and reflection, while also reconfiguring office space for staff to enhance workflow and improve their ability to support families throughout their healthcare journeys.

“Every family deserves to be close to their child during medical treatment without having to worry about where they’ll sleep or how they’ll manage the strain of being far from home. No one understands this vision better than our community partner, Avangrid. Their generous support, made possible through a significant donation that helped bring this expansion to life, will be recognized on the wall of the new guest room they have sponsored.” said Michelle D’Amore, Chief Executive Officer of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts
