Ronald McDonald House Moms4Moms Outreach

Last night was our last Moms4Moms outreach of the season. We are breaking for summer. I have enjoyed my role in Moms4Moms so much this past few months. It's been an awesome way for me to stay tied into my social work roots and stay involved in serving others.

For our last outreach project I organized our participation in the Ronald McDonald House Share-A-Meal program. We were responsible for feeding the 40 guests of the RMH a good hearty dinner. We went with a Mexican theme and all the moms donated food and their time to help pull it off. We tried to give it a festive feel with mariachi music and red chili pepper lights! We had tons of food left over which we packed up in the fridge for them to have for lunches for the next few days. We got to take a tour of the house and learn more about what they do there. For those of you who aren't familiar with the program, The Ronald McDonald House provides lodging to families who have a child in the hospital. Some of the stories we heard last night were amazing.. one about a little boy born at 26 weeks. It was enough to make me want to rush home to hold my kids tight and be so thankful for their health.

The RMH is always looking for volunteers to bring dinner in for their guests. You can help too!
