Nine members of the 75th Medical Support Squadron supplied the ingredients and served pancakes, sausage, eggs and fruit for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City on Jan 28 through the Adopt a Meal program. This program uses volunteers to prepare meals for families of children who are hospitalized at Primary Children's Medical Center, Shiner's Hospital, University of Utah Medical Center and LDS Hospital for extended periods of time due to serious illness and injury.
"Cooking for the families at the Ronald McDonald House was a very rewarding experience," said Staff Sergeant Lisa Organ. "It was nice to give back to an organization that, even in Salt Lake City, personally helps families from all over the world."
Being able to help those in need was a rewarding experience and 75th MDSS members will remember the smiles on the children's faces as the food was served.
This was more than serving a meal; it is an active part in the road to recovery for these young children and their families. If you are interested in volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 801-363-4663 or email Elizabeth@rmhslc.org.
