Join Us In Supporting Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio

The Outreach and Social Justice Committee is organizing three ways you can help Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio (RMH) in the month of March. You can help bring comfort and a sense of care to siblings of seriously ill children and help provide a meal to the guests staying at the RMH.

Look for the display in the Atrium beginning March 1!

1. Sibling Support Backpacks Donation Drive March 1 to the 15

Please donate items to help siblings feel seen, supported, and included during a challenging time. 

Our goal is to collect 40 of each item: a coloring book and crayons, a puzzle book, a card game, and Play-Doh. The donated items should be dropped off by March 15 in the Atrium. 

You can also make an on-line donation through the St. John’s website using the Sibling Backpacks dropdown link. All monetary donations should be made by March 15. 

2. SAVE THE DATE: March 22, RMH “Fill the Backpacks” in the Atrium

Fill a backpack with our donated items for siblings of children staying at the House. On March 22 during Coffee Hour and after the 11:15am service, parishioners will gather to assemble Sibling Support Backpacks. 

We will also have a table to decorate Coffee Sleeves with encouraging words or cheerful illustrations to brighten someone’s day. These decorated coffee sleeves will be distributed to families staying at the House. 

3. TEAM CUISINE LUNCH

Come help prepare and serve LUNCH to guests staying at the RMH. We will be preparing a delicious meal under the guidance of their professional chef, Chef Blair. Look for the sign-up sheet in the Atrium. 

Making a meal at the House will give you the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the families!
