RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES
In 1979, Alpha Delta Pi adopted The Ronald McDonald House as its national philanthropy. Ronald McDonald House Charities serve to provide a temporary "home away from home" for families with children who are undergoing serious medical treatments. It keeps families together and allows them to avoid constant long-distance travel during a period where time is so precious.
The Charlottesville Ronald McDonald House is only five minutes away from our house. Having an RMH so close allows our sisters to volunteer in person and see first-hand the positive impact they have on families they are helping.
Each week, we send groups of sisters to the house to cook meals, clean, and spend time with the children and families living at at the house.
We also have a philanthropy event every semester to raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
