One of the things I started doing this year was volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House. I have been there a total of six or seven times with a group of people who make dinner for the families that stay there. The dinners we make are similar to cafeteria food, like chicken nuggets. It's a simple dinner, but to those in need, it is very helpful.
The last time I went to make dinner, one of the people that run the House took us on a tour and told us about it. He showed us one room that families can stay in. The room looked like a hotel, which is basically what the Ronald McDonald House is. They provide shelter and necessities for families with children receiving health care from Geisinger Hospital in Danville. We also met one of the residents, which was a little boy who did not speak English and had only a bandage for a nose. Even though he must have felt so lost in the environment he was in, he looked like any other happy little boy .
I am really glad I was able to go on a tour of the facility. It made me appreciate what I did more and definitely made me take the task of making dinner for strangers more seriously. I hope the Ronald McDonald House stays in operation for a long time, because they are definitely helping a lot of families in need.
