Each year, volunteers help make Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama a home for families by providing meals, hosting family activities, cleaning, help and special events and much more. RMHCA would not be the amazing place it it without volunteers and we thank each and every one for their hard work! We honored some of our most outstanding volunteers Thursday, April 20. This is one of their stories.
Our Group of the Year Award goes to a group of volunteers who exceed expectations serving the house through multiple projects and also stand out as leaders and community advocates for RMHCA.
While this group did not contain the same members each time, BBVA Compass gave back a significant amount of time, resources, and expertise to our mission. From meal groups, to group projects, to volunteering at events, we had participation from this group across the board! Not only did they just participate, they excelled and are a group we know we can rely on if we have volunteering opportunities.
Allyson (pictured) has served with us for some time and introduced her love for RMHCA when she was elected to the Birmingham Volunteers Chapter Board for BBVA.
“Employees got involved and instantly felt the love that I do every time I’m at the House,” Allyson said. “The stories I heard about how thankful they were given the opportunity to make a day bright and visit the House have been very touching.”
We are so grateful to BBVA and their dedication to our mission, financial support and excellent volunteerism!
