Serving Children at the Ronald McDonald House

On Monday, March 23, 2026, a group of West Geauga KIwanians headed to the Ronald McDonald House on Euclid Avenue across from the Cleveland Clinic.

Ronald McDonald House provides comfort, care, and support for families with children who are sick around the world.

The Kiwanians had a guided tour of this beautiful facility that houses family members with children in the Cleveland Clinic and Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital. It provides a more than comfortable place for families to gather and stay. They provide meals, indoor play areas for the kids as well as an outdoor recreation area.

Our experienced Kiwanis cooks (we served 1800 people pancakes the day before) prepared a meal of pierogis, chicken paprikash, flank steak, and kielbasa. We also prepared fresh vegetables for a salad bar.

We were guided by Chef Ray, who oversees the kitchen at Ronald McDonald House.

Thank you to all at the Ronald McDonald House who allowed us to participate in the Kiwanis mission to serve and help children.
