Ronald McDonald House

I would like to encourage more chapters to get involved with the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Be innovative, think of new ways your chapter can get involved.  Take a group to a local house to volunteer, collect food or clothing items…or, keep collecting the tabs.  Whatever it is, get involved!
