City Wide Maintenance of San Diego Volunteers for the Ronald McDonald House®.
Online, March 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Last night's dinner service at the Ronald McDonald House® was a welcoming treat for families whose children are patients across the street at Rady's Children's Hospital. City Wide Maintenance employees supplied, prepared, and served a home-style dinner, as well as provided classical piano music and plenty of warm smiles for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
"What an amazing place!" said Linda Kafka, Co-Owner and President of City Wide. "Parents staying here don't have to worry about daily necessities like food and lodging; they can focus on their children. And siblings can escape the hospital and have a place that feels like home. As a mother, I can only imagine how hard this must be for those parents. It really warms my heart, and we're honored to help out any way we can."
Besides dinner service, City Wide Maintenance donates weekly janitorial cleaning services to the Ronald McDonald House. This ongoing volunteer project is overseen by Lisa Fortman, Co-Owner and General Manager of City Wide. "Every time we come here, we're so touched by the families and what they must be going through. We appreciate Ronald McDonald House for allowing us to be a part of this service to these families. The RMH staff knows we're always on hand to help out with cleaning, serving, or giving building maintenance advice."
