In February, 2009 we took a tour and delivered dinner to the Ronald McDonald House in Palo Alto. The Ronald McDonald House provides a house near to Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital for families of children with life-threatening illnesses. It costs $10 a night to stay there which can be a hardship for families when they have to pay all the medical bills of their sick child. We were surprised on our tour, however, that it was only $10 a night given that they had such nice facilities. They had a great game room for the kids, a huge kitchen, a library, and a computer room for families to send messages back to home.

The project we did for the Ronald McDonald House was making dinner for all the families living there. We provided lasagna for the main course, fruit and veggie platters for the side dishes, and for the best part of the meal, dessert, we made brownies. In addition to providing dinner we were able to donate $100 to the Ronald McDonald House. We hope to do something for them again.
