Ronald McDonald House

Description:

The Ronald McDonald House provides a "home away from home" for families and their children who are receiving medical treatment at Children's Hospital in downtown Cincinnati. Every day volunteer groups help these families during their time of need by purchasing food and preparing a meal for the guests staying at this house.

Purpose:

Moeller students will be working together to prepare and serve meals for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Students will also get a tour of the building and learn about the services that are provided by this organization.  A volunteer with cooking experience will be directing the students in their meal preparation.  The meals provided for the families are essential to keep the Ronald McDonald House running.  The students will have the opportunity to interact with real families in need from all over the world. 

Commitment:

We are scheduled to go the Ronald McDonald House every month (October through April). This is a total of 7 visits total. Students chosen for this program are expected to commit to participating in ALL Visits. Participants will leave Moeller at 4:00 pm and stay at the Ronald McDonald House until 7:00 pm.

In addition, participants will be expected to help with the organizing and purchasing of food items for one or more of the visits. (There will be no out-of-pocket costs – we pay for the food costs each visit.)

Service Hours:

Students recieve 5 service hours each time they visit Ronald McDonald House.
