Community Support Spotlight: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Georgia
The attorneys at Spivey, Pope, Green & Greer are dedicated to impacting the community around them. It’s our belief that commitment to community does not end when the briefcase is closed at the end of the day. That’s why we volunteer and support community organizations outside of our time at the office.
One of the organizations we support is Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Georgia, whose mission is to provide care and comfort for the families of seriously ill or medically-fragile children who seek specialized pediatric medical care in our community.
About Ronald McDonald House Charities
A Ronald McDonald House is a safe, encouraging home-away-from-home for the families of extremely sick children. If a family has to travel long distances for medical attention, the House is a warm and cheerful environment where they are close to their children.
Additionally, families are among other families that are going through similar circumstances. This creates a place of comradery and support during a time of crisis. If a child is receiving outpatient treatment, a Ronald McDonald House is the perfect place for them to be-with their families in an environment full of support.
