Ronald McDonald House goes out of their way to make their residents feel at home during their stay. One of the big ways that they do that is provide a meal cooked meal by a chef once a week to the residents. Currently, this is only able to happen once a week and a one reason for that is their limited equipment.

Some of our leadership team, Lon Welsh, Jeremy Lambert, and Hannah James volunteered to help cook one of those meals and saw first hand how big their need is. Cooking for 50+ people is no simple task. Chef Mary with Ronald McDonald House really tries to make this more of a restaurant quality meal to really try to make these families feel special during some of their worst times of their lives. With the inefficient ovens, the prep time is more than double. They would love to add more of these meals during the week, but because of the amount of prep time needed, that is not feasible. That is where YOU come in! They need better equipment, like 3 industrial grade ovens for their Denver kitchen!

Ronald McDonald house has a very personal impact for us at Your Castle. Our very own Jeremy Lambert needed this organization a few years ago when his youngest son was sick. It was an experience that changed his families life forever and it is because of things like these dinners that truly make the difference.

During our volunteering time cooking this meal, we not only learned how to make a delicious recipe, but we were able to engage with the residents and truly serve these families. One of the dads, as he was leaving the kitchen, stopped us and expressed how special this meal was and how grateful he was to be able to sit down and enjoy a nice meal with his family. This meal made them feel a little more normal during such a difficult time for his family.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 and Your Castle will match any donations made up to $5,000! We have over 700 agents at the brokerage. If we can get just 500 agents donate $10 each, we can get there!
