Bake for a cause

Do you have a Ronald McDonald House in your area?
Check out their website HERE for information on who they are and where they are located.

Often times they are in need of baked goods, so the families who stay at the house are able to have something to snack on. This is a fantastic service opportunity to involve the kids in.

Explain the mission of the charity to your children, so they understand why their services are needed-- Allow them to give some input on what kind of cookies/treats to make....then get to work!
Baking is always fun, but even more so when the children know they're doing it for an important cause.

(The woman I spoke to at the RM house said that it would be appreciated if the baked goods were wrapped/bagged so they could be frozen for later use...)
