were rushed to Carilion Roanoke Memorial
and RMHC was there to provide them with
not only housing but everything.
RMHC's motto is " more than a house, " and
it couldn't be truer.
In addition to providing housing, food
and transportation, RMHC handles unexpected
and forgotten needs. That mom or dad
who jumped in an ambulance didn't bring a
toothbrush.
RMHC takes care of them so they can care
for their sick child.
Perhaps most distinctively, RMHC provides
a community of people you can't find
anywhere else.
Montana Kimrey, Donor and Community
Relations Coordinator says, " You know the
people you run into when you're making breakfast
or getting a cup of coffee, they're going
through something similar to you... it's something
you can't make up anywhere else. "
Emergencies occur every day, and the holidays
are no exception. This time of year, the
organization hosts families as much as any
other.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and
parents are often accompanied by kids of various
ages. It can be especially tough on patients'
The dining room offers a cozy space
for guests to gather for meals during
their stay.
HOW YOU
CAN HELP
M
ontana Kimrey likes to say the three ways to help your
Ronald McDonald House are " Time, Talent and Treasure. "
The average hour of volunteer work for a nonprofit would cost $20
if done by a paid employee. So it's easy to see how any time you give
to RMHC (or your other favorite nonprofit) helps to save them on their
budget.
That time can be anything from helping prepare for an event like a
golf fundraiser to cooking a meal. They feed their tenants a hot meal
every night and provide the ingredients for breakfast, lunch and snacks.
And speaking of that treasure, it's worth noting that Roanoke's RMH
is a fully functioning house with all the usual expenses - and then some.
" We have all the bills you'd have in your own home, plus the expenses
of running a business, " Boothe says. " It's a 40-year-old aging building
that gets a lot of use. "
The 25,000-square-foot manor house serves up to 18 families at a
time, so it's easy to imagine why expenses run high. The supersized
electric bill averages $2,000 per month.
If now, in this spirit of giving, you'd like to help the people helping
As part of our 50 Acts of Service for 50 years campaign in celebration of our 50th
anniversary, The Roanoker Magazine team donated their time and items for a Taco
Tuesday dinner for guests earlier this year.
