This past Monday, the At Your Service Long Island team continued our company mission of Hospitality with a Heart and took the time to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House on Long Island.
Since 1974 Ronald McDonald House has assisted keeping families near to their children while they seek medical treatment. Providing this level of hospitality, it only seemed natural for AYS to partner with RMHC.
Our AYS LI team and staff, brought our signature Hospitality with a Heart to the 42 room Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park. Our team shopped for the groceries to feed all the families in residence. The AYS Team then prepared the groceries to provide a continental breakfast of chicken salad sandwiches, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, sliders, potatoes and cereal. Once the food was ready, it was set up buffet style and served by the AYS team. Afterwards, our team cleaned up to leave a nice clean kitchen so staff and family in residence at the Ronald McDonald House were able to focus on medical maters.
“ Contributing to this great cause and volunteering at The Ronald McDonald House was a gratifying and humbling experience. What really resonated with me was when Judy, a Director at the RMH said, ‘Giving back no matter how small is the best gift you can give to someone in need.’ It is truly inspiring how selfless acts can amount to the creation and growth of this amazing charitable organization.””
This not the first time team members from AYS have volunteered. During a recent service trip to Puerto Rico AYS teamed up with World Central Kitchen to help those effected by the recent earthquakes: https://youtu.be/llggQzONGew
