As part of an on-going initiative to engage in team-building via volunteer activities, a group of 10 staff from Butler IT prepared dinner for the guests of the Ronald McDonald House on March 7th. In pairs, the group prepared a variety of soups, salad, garlic bread, and homemade desserts for the filled-to-capacity guests. Ronald McDonald House of Central Indiana provides a home-away-from-home for more than 5,000 families of children every year receiving medical care at Riley Hospital. A home-cooked meal goes a long way in providing comfort to families during a stressful time period.
Over half of the IT department participated in the event by donating non-perishable food items and monetary funds, baking desserts, and preparing the meal itself; it was truly a group effort.
Earlier this year members of IT volunteered at Gleaner’s Food Bank. In May, IT staff will be volunteering at Joy’s House, an adult day-care facility in Broad Ripple.
