Long Branch House

The Ronald McDonald House of Long Branch, adjacent to Monmouth Medical Center, was founded in October 1987, through a true community effort. The late Ernie George, a local McDonald's Owner/Operator and Long Branch Rotary member had the dream and got the ball rolling. Jonathon Hoffman and Alexis Tucci of the Rotary Club of Long Branch and Charles Blatchley, Dr. Howard Fox, Dorothy Davis and Arlene Mageary of Monmouth Medical Center were intricately involved in the development of the idea and the formation of the organization that made Ernie's dream a reality. The House has continued to grow and be so successful thanks to the incredible support of our local communities.
