At PaySimple we are always looking for ways to get involved in the community, so earlier this month, we got a group together to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House in Denver.

If you’re not already familiar with the organization, the Ronald McDonald House is a wonderful charity that provides housing for families with children in the hospital. It allows families, who might not otherwise be able to afford it, to be close to their children so they can provide support and love during the healing process. No family is ever turned away. The Ronald McDonald House serves as a home for 3.7 million families around the world each year. And during their stay, families are offered a number of amenities including home-cooked meals.

As such, we decided the best way for us to help out was to cook for the families at the Denver RMH. On the menu was: Sloppy Joes, chips, coleslaw, Rice Krispies Treats, and drinks. And while some of us don’t have the best cooking skills, all of the families seemed to enjoy our home-cooked meal.

It was a wonderful experience being able to put a smile on the faces of families that are going through a tough time. We encourage all small businesses and individuals to do what you can to volunteer and give back to the community.
