Report from Eta Tau Chapter at Alvin Community College (TX)
Our chosen nonprofit organization was The Ronald McDonald House based in Galveston, Texas.
Volunteers play a crucial role there in organizing and facilitating activities to provide families with enjoyable experiences where they can connect with one another and find respite during the challenging times they all face. We were able to contribute to the creative, supportive and nurturing environment that is the foundation of the Ronald McDonald House with this initiative.
To contribute to the amazing work of the Ronald McDonald House, we organized two family entertainment days and gathered donations for the future needs of the families that continue to stay at the house.
For each Bingo Day, a group of our Eta Tau members went to Galveston to host the families. The children and their loved ones were provided with an opportunity to have fun, win prizes, listen to music, dance, relax, and enjoy the event together. This event created a positive and supportive atmosphere allowing these families a break from the stress they face at the hospital receiving medical treatments.
When thinking of the future needs of the Ronald McDonald House we decided we could make an impact by helping the organization to stock up on necessities they may need during their stay such as paper plates and bowls, paper towels, plasticware, and cups.
