Every pet is treated like family and guaranteed life if they are surrendered or found homeless on the street. <3 I love animals especially doggos.

Everyday, volunteers like me don our aprons and mix up batches of cookies or cook meals at RMH. Fresh-baked cookies and meals are a hallmark of Ronald McDonald Houses all around the United States. They're daily treats and meals that are made with love and go a long way to helping families feel at home while staying there as their loved ones are undergoing treatment.
Before Covid, this used to be a yearly tradition of mine. For my birthday, I would gather a group of friends to come to the house and bake cookies with me for the families that are often far from the comforts of home. A great, fun way to give back with friends.
