This Wednesday Global Engagement gathered together to make blankets for the children at Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House operates as a home away from home for seriously ill children. The House allows families to remain near their children while they are receiving treatment for their illnesses. Each child receives a welcome pack upon admission to Ronald McDonald House, which comes with a fleece blanket.
During the blanket-making session, students enjoyed hot chocolate and the movie Elf to help them get into the holiday spirit. Many of the students had no experience in making these felt tie blankets, but they were excited and quick to learn! We were able to make five blankets to donate to Ronald McDonald House, which will be greatly appreciated by the children in the coming winter months.
Stay tuned for more Global Engagement community service opportunities in the coming months!
