Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mid-Missouri announced three new members to its Board of Directors last week.
The new members include Brandy Veatch, philanthropist and wife to Mizzou Athletics Director Laird Veatch; Kyle Carroll, senior business development manager at MFA Oil; and John States, member at Little Dixie Construction.
The Ronald McDonald House offers the following programs and services:
- House: The House will provide you with a place to sleep comfortably, access to warm dinners daily, take a shower, do laundry, relax and play and spend time with other families in similar situations.
- Ronald McDonald Family Room: Located in the MU Children’s Hospital, the space accommodates 20-30 people at a time and includes a living room area, kitchenette with food and snacks, laundry facilities and comfortable areas to watch TV, rest and prepare for any medical challenges ahead with their child.
- Provide a Meal: Volunteers will prepare or cater a home-cooked dinner for the families to come home to after a day at the hospital.
- Lunch on the House: This supports families with hospitalized children by providing lunches to the neonatal and pediatric units of MU’s Children’s Hospital as well as the Thompson Center so parents can stay near their children and not worry about the cost of another meal.
