West Virginian RMHC House Proves Donations Can Go Both Ways

With all that the Ronald McDonald House does for its communities its hard to believe they could do anymore. Despite this, a home in Morgantown, West Virginia has risen the bar even higher, building care kits for workers on the front lines of the COVID-19 battle.

Executive Director for the Pittsburgh and Morgantown RMHC, Eleanor Reigel, wanted to give back to the community. “There are so many heroes that are working on the front lines and as part of our mission is to support everyone," said Reigel. "Parents and families stay with us and support them, we wanted to support the frontline.”

The Morgantown Home has made several strides in keeping their families safe. They have followed CDC guidelines as well as advice from their hospital partners to keep their home as safe as it can be. The use of gloves and masks is mandatory and the home has postponed volunteers from visiting in order to minimize the risk of COVID-19 spread
