We hope it's true that everyone does likes tacos!

May ended with an evening at the Ronald McDonald House Charities. One key service volunteers provide to the organization is cooking meals for the families and patients using the House. Most of the families at RMHC are visiting from out of town for difficult medical procedures or treatments for sometimes extended periods. RMHC has filled the niche of providing alternatives to vending machines and cafeterias with homemade meals prepared by friends.

Our group arrived around 4:30 and set out our meal. For our first time we chose a Mexican theme with tacos, burritos, Mexican rice, brownies and strawberry shortcake. Marlene and Stephanie brought food in ahead of time because they weren't able to be there Saturday, and Marlee (Return Serve's youngest volunteer so far!) really stepped up helping with the dinner, playing in the playroom with Mike, helping with the dishes, and pushing the button to make the electric train up by the ceiling go around and around! (Do you think this place was designed for kids, or something?)

We were told that the families typically just graze throughout the evening due to their unpredictable schedules, so we left the food out and only saw a few guests while we were there. We hope that they know how much we feel for them and their situations and that they had a little comfort in our tacos!
