Spotlight for Service: The Ronald McDonald House!

At Pasadena Presbyterian Church, we aim to be a "sacred space for the city," and for that reason, we desire to learn about opportunities for service in Pasadena and to support and celebrate what non-profits, ministries, and charities are doing right in our midst.

And so. . . this week we honor Pasadena's Ronald McDonald House!

It is a great challenge physically, emotionally, and spiritually when families are struggling with critical illness or disability in the life of a child. Parents, grandparents, siblings, and members of extended families often face a great deal of grief, stress, and confusion as when a child needs critical medical care. And children may need medical treatments that are only provided away from their homes.

For all these reasons, the Ronald McDonald House opens its doors to provide a safe and nurturing environment for families who are caring for their children. The Ronald McDonald House provides meals, support, and opportunities for families to enjoy outings right here in our city.

There are many ways for us to volunteer on behalf of the Ronald McDonald House. We can make meals, clean the house, and find other ways to use our gifts to support the mission of this organization. All volunteers must first attend an information session. If you are interested in learning more about volunteering, you can visit the Ronald McDonald House website. You can also make a donation.

And! There's a way that we can help NEXT WEEK!

The Ronald McDonald House is hosting the 2011 Walk For Kids Kick-Off Breakfast on February 3rd from 8-10am. If you would like to attend, you will need to RSVP. Please visit this link to learn more.

Let's celebrate all that the Ronald McDonald house is doing right here in Pasadena!
