In February 2009, Local 2580 donated an overflowing cart-full of non-perishables and paper products to the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill. The staff and volunteers were extremely grateful since they had already decimated Christmas donations.

The Ronald McDonald House provides families with the basic necessities and comforts of home so that they can focus on caring for their sick child. In addition to hotel-style rooms, they also provide at least five dinners and two breakfasts each week, 365 days a year. There is a game room, library, video library, nature trails, and other amenities on-site to help families relax.

For more information or ways to donate, visit them at www.chapelhillrmh.net or call 919-913-2040.
