SmarTravel Makes Donation to Ronald McDonald House of Indiana as Part of Pantry Partnership
INDIANAPOLIS,
Ind. (August 29, 2012) – SmarTravel, a company which
sells vacations by the week at wholesale prices, makes donation after a
month-long partnership with Ronald McDonald House
of Indiana.
The
Ronald McDonald House of Indiana provides a safe haven and home-away-from-home
for parents and siblings of seriously ill or injured children. Since
opening their doors in 1982, they’ve housed more than 35,000 families. Because
of their large number of guests, the organization is constantly looking for
household items to be donated.
SmarTravel
stepped up to become the official Pantry Partner for Ronald McDonald House of
Indiana for the month of August. “No local charity is quite like the Ronald
McDonald House of Indiana,” said David Wise, president of SmarTravel. “This
organization helps to better the lives of people who are already going through so
much, making sure that a place to stay is not added to their list of worries. At
SmarTravel, we’ve always been focused on giving back to organizations that are
partners with our community. We’re happy we can now call ourselves a partner to
the Ronald McDonald House.”
SmarTravel
donated more than 500 dollars worth of items to the facility, including pillows,
bottled water, plastic dishes and more. “We rely on the community to help us
meet the needs of the families we serve,” said Beth Johnson, executive director
at Ronald McDonald House of Indiana. “Companies like SmarTravel ensure we’re
able to ease some of the burden families with critically ill children face. We
know that children heal faster when their families can be with them. The goal
is to make sure we enable families to stay near their children without having
to worry about a thing other than their loved one.”
