Community Service

Each year, our Club participates in the "Cooks for Kids" program at the Ronald McDonald House located in the Minneapolis Children's Hospital.  On Wednesday, April 19, 2017, nine Arden Hills-Shoreview Rotary Club members plus three additional family members volunteered to serve approximately 80 families.  The Ronald McDonald House supports families while their baby or child is in the hospital, providing food and shelter free of charge.  Organizations around the metro area sign up to buy, prepare and serve a meal at the House for attending families.  These families are experiencing a stressful and challenging time; a good hot meal that they don’t have to worry about preparing can be quite comforting. 

 

Once again, Coleen Lavin led the activity, organizing the purchase and preparation of a lasagna dinner, working both shifts, and even brought along her husband and daughter in the bargain.  All are urged to join in this very rewarding annual service project.  And to Colleen, a tip of our collective hat – THANKS!!
