The Little Things Matter Most

Many of you are familiar with our volunteer meal program, Cooks For Kids, in which volunteers cook meals for the families inside the Ronald McDonald House, the House inside the hospital and the Ronald McDonald Family Room. Everyone is so grateful for the volunteers taking time out of their busy days to cook, serve and clean up. At the Ronald McDonald Family Room inside Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, we recently had a group of high school students who are a part of the National Honor Society at Harding High School in St. Paul. They did such a wonderful job preparing a delicious, Asian-themed meal. One thing in particular that really caught everyone’s attention was the coconut Jell-O. The volunteers made several different colors of Jell-O using food dye and then made art out of the Jell-O! Families we so appreciative! One parent commented, “It really is the small things like pretty Jell-O that brings a smile to my face these days." Thank you, National Honor Society, at Harding High School for serving families. It seems like something so small, but we know it's the little things that really matter!
