On January 3, the families of Aurora Jacobi, age 12, and Sarah Sollors, age 15, travelled to Ronald McDonald House in London with two other families to drop off a donation and to prepare a meal for the families staying in the house.
Ronald McDonald House is a “home-away-from-home” for families of children receiving medical care.
This was the fourth year for the families participating in the "Dinner at Our House" program and said that, as always, it was a very rewarding experience. In all, the families fed approximately 50 to 60 people.
Aurora and Sarah's Family Swim afternoon raised just over $400 for the Ronald McDonald House thanks to the many generous folks in attendance.
