Woman’s Club of St. Matthews has supported the efforts of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana, (RMHCK), over the years with collections of aluminum can tabs. However, in 2019 the club chose to become more involved with this organization’s mission to provide a “home-away-from-home” for families of children receiving healthcare at area medical facilities.
First we formed a group, of seven members, to tour the Louisville location and assess any need that could be met by our club, and report their findings to our membership. After club discussion of the various needs, it was decided that a group of volunteer members would prepare an evening meal for the current families, approximately 60 persons, residing at RMHCK. This project was so successful and well received, that the club provided a second meal on New Year’s Eve. WCSM membership intends to continue this partnership with RMHCK.
