Volunteer Dinner at the Ronald McDonald House
On September 27th, 2024, volunteers gathered at the Ronald McDonald House of Columbia to prepare and cook dinner for families staying at the house.
About the Ronald McDonald House:
The Ronald McDonald House provided a supportive environment for families with seriously ill or injured children. It alleviated the emotional and financial burdens of being away from home by offering a comfortable, 16,000-square-foot facility with sixteen bedrooms. Families enjoyed home-cooked meals, relaxed in spacious living areas, and accessed laundry facilities while connecting with others facing similar challenges. This stability allowed them to focus on what mattered most—being there for their child.
