Do you know about Ronald McDonald House Charities (RHMC)? RHMC provides stability and resources for families everywhere by helping a sick child fight their illness takes a big enough emotional toll on a family.
Adding a financial strain can make it all almost too much to bear. RMHC can help address those problems, whether they involve housing that’s near a hospitalized child, the expense of staying together in another city, or even getting basic medical and dental care in a vulnerable community. These programs can be found in more than 290 local Chapters in 58 countries and regions.
We recently had the opportunity to preview Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida’s Appetite for the Arches Fundraising Event that will be occurring at the Orlando World Center Marriott on Saturday, March 1 at 7PM.
At Appetite for the Arches, some of Central Florida’s finest chefs will create an assortment of culinary delights using McDonald’s ingredients.
That’s right…the dishes will be created with McDonald’s ingredients and this not your average fast food cuisine!
The chef’s signature dishes will showcase their creativity and skills, as well as the quality and freshness of McDonald’s ingredients.
We were able to sample some of the unique dishes from local favorites like The Rusty Spoon, K Restaurant, Cask & Larder, and the hosting preview restaurant, The Ravenous Pig.
