This holiday season, Rochester MN Moms Blog wants to harness the excitement, passion and power of our dynamic group of readers to assist worthwhile organizations. We know (as moms ourselves) that you want to teach your children kindness, compassion, a generous spirit and how to serve others. Sometimes it can be difficult to find opportunities to teach these valuable lessons to our children, as doing these things with our little people can be, well, challenging.
We are so excited to announce the first project in what will hopefully be a tradition of service and giving with RMMB. Rochester MN Moms Blog Gives provides an opportunity for us to give back to Rochester MN.
Rochester MN Moms Blog has partnered with the Ronald McDonald House of Rochester and Next Chapter Ministries to provide you with opportunities to assist with the physical needs of these organizations. This will not only provide our Rochester MN Moms Blog community the opportunity to serve our community, but will also give us the chance to teach those valuable lessons of service to our children.
Next week, let’s FLASH MOB these deserving organizations with items from their wish lists. How awesome would it be if we were able to fulfill the needs above and beyond what they are asking. We know we can do this!
Read below about each organization and how to drop your donation off.
Ronald McDonald House
The Ronald McDonald House is a “home away from home” for families who must travel hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles to seek medical treatment for their children. The House provides shelter and support to families facing difficult days and long nights. The following is their holiday wish list:
Additionally, Ronald McDonald has an in-store and online toy wish list available at Rochester MN Moms Blog sponsor A Child’s Kingdom. Or why not add an item to your cart when you’re shopping on Amazon…they have on online wish list there too!
Drop Off, your donation at any time next week. Plus, on Wednesday, December 16th Rochester Moms Blog contributors will be at Ronald McDonald house to receive your donations from 8 AM – 12 Noon. Drive right up to the door and they will collect your donation for you…no need to park and haul the kids in and out of the car! The address is: 850 2nd St. SW Rochester, MN.
Next Chapter Ministries
