Giving back to our community with Ronald McDonald House

For the better part of the last decade, Southside has been the transportation partner with the Red Deer House of Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta.

We've provided them with a van to use throughout the year to transport families around Central Alberta and the staff utilizes the vehicle to attend meetings/events in Calgary and Edmonton. For the past few years it's been a Chrysler Pacifica.

Also during that time, we've enjoyed putting a group together from time to time to help out with their Home For Dinner Program. It's a lot of fun getting together, coming up with recipe ideas and then cooking up a meal to help out the families staying at the house.

It's super rewarding to be able to take one chore off the families mind while they are dealing with the stress of having a family member in the hospital. They are always looking for volunteers for a variety of different positions. If you'd like to help out - please visit https://rmhcalberta.org/volunteer/
