Several of us volunteered to make and serve lunch to the families at the local Ronald McDonald House this past weekend. The RMH is a home for families with children in local hospitals who are from out of town. The families can stay there without charge, but meals are provided by volunteers. Our team served a Hot Dog bar for the families this past Sunday. 

Here is a picture from a home I helped clear out near Hammond, Louisiana with HandsOnNewOrleans+United Way this past weekend. This elderly couple with health issues basically lost everything they owned, because there was no one to help them remove precious items before it molded beyond repair over the last few weeks. They were in higher spirits that I could imagine under the circumstances. More on that in another blog post, as we are trying to figure out how best to help the area. 

Our Car Show this past summer to help with school supplies for the local school district was a great hit with the neighborhood! Here are some of my favorite shots:

We encourage everyone to find a cause that you care about and give back. In the past we've also done things for Alzheimers awareness, as three of our families have been directly impacted by this terrible disease, so it is close to our hearts. A good life is made even better by volunteering and giving back.
