Wayne Homes Employees Volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House of Akron, Ohio
Uniontown, OH (PRWEB) December 23, 2015 -- On December 2nd, employees of Ohio-based custom home builder Wayne Homes volunteered and prepared dinner for over 50 residents at the Ronal McDonald House of Akron, OH. The House provides a temporary home for families when their loved ones are being treated at Akron Children’s Hospital.

These individuals typically spend their time cleaning, stocking shelves, baking, prepping meals, baking, washing towels, and just being present in the House in case families may need something.

“With all the stress and financial burden that having a sick child can create, it’s rewarding to give these families one less thing to worry about,” stated Wayne Homes New Home Consultant, Madison Byers. “A home cooked meal is ready for them at the same time every evening. The staff at the Ronald McDonald House is passionate about helping these families through a difficult time and they do a fantastic job of coordinating volunteers.”
