Imagine if you spent all day at the hospital with your child only to then have to wonder what you are going to do for dinner. Now imagine eating out of vending machines or hospital cafeterias for every meal. Wouldn’t you rather come home to a hot meal? On October 31, NOPA volunteers cooked meals for the families (3040 people) who stay at the Ronald McDonald House while his or her child is being treated.
