One of St. Gabriel’s newest endeavors, Ronald McDonald House needs 8-10 volunteers per month to cook, serve, and clean up a delicious meal we prepare at the new Charlotte location. This “home away from home” is for families of seriously ill or injured children seeking treatment at either of the 2 area children’s hospitals. Providing a home cooked meal is a small but loving way for us to help those families facing a medical crisis with their beloved child. Contact Karen O’Gorman at namrogo@aol.com.
