On May 15, 2018, the UNC Cancer Network Telehealth Team utilized some of their Community Service Leave to volunteer as a group at the Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill, NC. The Ronald McDonald House offers a variety of volunteer opportunities, encompassing everything from working directly with staff, providing dinner every night , and brunch on the weekends, light and deep cleaning, house repairs, outreach, planning events, providing a day of support, and administrative support around the office.
After going on a brief tour of the house, Caitlinn LaScala, Family Room and Volunteer Services Manager, provided a list of household tasks. The team worked in groups of two and vigorously cleaned the kitchen and library. They also organized the pantry, scrubbed baseboards, vacuumed, meticulously cleaned windows, sanitized tables, highchairs, and toys. “Volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House was an eye-opening experience. What the staff does, on a daily basis, to help families in need is incredible. It felt great assisting with whatever was needed, and being in such a warm and compassionate environment. We were honored to help in any way, “said Mary King, Operations Coordinator.
Special thanks to the Ronald McDonald House for their hospitality and for what they do for families in need of a soft place to land.
