Join others from the Drake Community on Dec. 1 from 12 to 4 p.m. to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Sign up to participate in the day of service.

For the past 3 years, Drake, Wells Fargo, and community partners have maintained a partnership to enact local change through service projects. This year, the group will be volunteering with RMHC of Central Iowa. Volunteers will provide maintenance and cleaning for the RMHC, which helps to give them the capacity to continue to do great work in our communities.

RMHC provides resources for families experiencing hardships in health care costs for children experiencing illness. Taking care of an ill child takes a big emotional and financial toll on a family. RMHC helps to support families and address these needs by providing housing near a hospitalized child, covering travel expenses of staying in another city, and necessities like medical and dental care.
