This past Saturday, we had the pleasure and privilege of hosting lunch for the patients and families at the Ronald McDonald House of Memphis. A team of 12 Orion volunteers was on hand to serve the meal.

RMH Memphis is an amazing place, full of love and hope.  Seeing smiles on the faces of the children, in spite of the battles they’re going through, is an overwhelming reminder of their resilience and courage.

When you visit the Ronald McDonald House, you always wish you could do more – something like bringing a meal feels so small compared to what the families staying there are going through.  But it’s the combination of many efforts, small and large, that keeps the house going and makes a tremendous difference!
