Members of the Fort Myers Metro-McGregor Kiwanis club recently prepared meals on two different evenings for the families at the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Myers. The Ronald McDonald House is a “home-away-from-home” for families with children receiving medical treatment at the Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida. Services are provided at little or no cost, so families can stay together- helping their children heal faster.
The Fort Myers Metro-McGregor Kiwanis also donated pull-tabs collected by the Littleton Elementary School K-Kids, which is a service leadership group sponsored by Kiwanis for students age 6–12. Pull-tabs are pure aluminum and are sold as scrap to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. In past years, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Florida has raised close to $5,000 annually in pull-tab collections.
The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Florida is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children throughout Southwest Florida. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Florida supports The Ronald McDonald House, The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, grants and scholarship programs.
