Greetings from RMH Providence,
 

We are quickly approaching our Annual End of Summer New England Clambake.  Registration is open so reserve you seats TODAY!!!

Thank You
 

A former House Guest wrote the following letter to Hasbro, one of our room sponsors, with gratitude for their generous support.

"Dear Hasbro,

I would like to thank you for your generous sponsorship of the Adopt a Room program.  My son was in the partial hospitalization program and having a place to stay near the hospital was necessary as a long commute would have made it extremely difficult to attend the program.

I also want to let you know that the Ronald McDonald House is truly a "home-away-from-home".  All the staff and volunteers are welcoming, supportive and giving of themselves.  The food donations and food preparation is extremely helpful.  Thank you for making this possible.

Sincerely,

Rachelle Rea"
