Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of children and supporting families with sick children. They are one of our favorite places to volunteer.
We recently had the honor of volunteering our time to cook and serve a hot meal for the families at the Ronald McDonald House. Our team had fun working together in the kitchen, this time using the appliances instead of fixing them! On the menu was Cajun Jambalaya, salad bar, and vegan chocolate cake.
