Alpha Iota | RMH Columbus Blanket Donation Drive! |
Date: Oct 1, 2022 at 12:00am to Nov 18, 2022 at 11:59pm | |
For four decades, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been keeping families close at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. From its beginnings as a grassroots movement established by a partnership between volunteers and local McDonald’s Owner/Operators, the charity has served thousands of families in their deepest times of need.
Ronald McDonald House welcomes each resident with a welcome bag and a welcome blanket. These blankets are treasured by the residents, and are a big area of need, so this will be the focus of our October donation drive! We will have another event to put together these blankets at the end of the month :-). You can earn a total of 5 service hours from this drive.
Things to donate:
- 1.5/2 yards of fleece = 1.5 service hour
Can be found on amazon or craft stores. Patterned or solid colors! PLEASE MAKE THIS THE FICUS OF UR
DONATIONS!
