Giving Back Together: Washington Elevator at Ronald McDonald House

CommunityGiving Back
Written By Sarah Waterman

This month, our team at Washington Elevator had the privilege of volunteering at Ronald McDonald House Charities, where we spent an afternoon preparing meals for families staying at the House. It was a meaningful way to come together outside of work and give back to a community that does so much for families in need.

Ronald McDonald House Charities relies on up to 700 volunteers each month to keep their programs running. Many families return to the House after long days at the hospital or even long flights from far away, so a warm, home-cooked meal — which is exactly what we prepare — goes a long way. Our meal assignment this week was “KFC Bowls” which are apparently the #1 favorite of families! The best part? A meal prep shift only takes a few hours but leaves a lasting impact.

We’re grateful we could play a small part in this mission and encourage others to consider volunteering. Whether it’s with your workplace, family, or friends, it’s a simple yet powerful way to give back. If you’d like to learn more about volunteering opportunities and see how you can make a difference too.

Stay tuned for our next community project — a donation drive to collect Halloween costumes for the kids at Ronald McDonald House. We can’t wait to share more details on how you can join us in spreading a little extra joy this season.
