Make welcome goodie bags and care packages for families
Families facing the weight of a child's illness are often so busy taking care of their child; they forget to take care of themselves. Receiving a care package box when they arrive helps families feel welcome and reminds them there are people who care.
Last year, McDonald's managers and crew members participated in a leadership workshop at their annual convention. During the workshop they created more than 5,000 welcome boxes to donate to the Ronald McDonald Houses in the U.S. and Canada.
If you'd like to use your skills to help Ronald McDonald House Charities, get in touch with your local RMHC Chapter or search VolunteerMatch to sign up for volunteer opportunities in your area.
