Craft Kits for Ronald McDonald House
Overview:
Ronald McDonald House (RMDH) is located near Children's Hospital in Milwaukee and provides a place for families to stay while receiving treatment at Children's and other area hospitals. It has 84 private guest rooms plus kitchens and other common spaces that allow families to stay at little to no cost.
Join us on Saturday, February 15th from 10:00-11:00 am as we pack snack bags for the families staying at RMDH to enjoy while staying onsite or take along for appointments. We will also work on some tie blankets which will be donated to RMDH as well.
What to expect:
We'll start with a brief overview of what RMDH is and then families will spend some time either decorating snack bags or working on the tie blankets (or both!). Around 10:30-10:45, we will pack the snack bags. Any remaining time will be used to finish up the tie blankets.
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
This event is open to all ages and we have room for approximately 12 families. Members* will be able to register for the first week, and then we will open any remaining available spots to guests one week prior to the project.
What to bring:
Your registration confirmation email will contain a Sign Up Genius to sign up to bring some items for the snack bags. Any size contribution is welcome. NOTE: If you would like to participate but are unable to bring items please let us know via email (confidential) and we will buy supplies on your behalf. We just want to make sure we have enough supplies to pack.
What to wear:
Feel free to wear your SBK shirt if you have one and bring your lanyard to collect your ribbon if you're a member.
Additional information:
This project will be held in the Community Room of the Pewaukee Public Library. Enter the main doors off the parking lot and the room will be immediately to your left.

Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can allow others to fill the spot.
Thanks for lending a little hand!

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
