Dan Ryan Builders Raleigh Boosts Support for Ronald McDonald House

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- When a group of sales agents from Dan Ryan Builders Raleigh Division held their quarterly volunteer outing in April at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham, they noticed that the four ovens in the community kitchen needed upgrading. 

"After so much use, many of the appliances were a little worse for wear," said Julie Knight, Dan Ryan Builders Raleigh's community relations manager. "Seeing that, we decided to do something about it, so they stepped up and raised the money to replace the ovens."

On July 17, the new ovens were delivered and installed.

"Last year, more than 6,000 volunteers cooked 609 meals for seriously ill kids and their families," RMH Executive Director Oie Osterkamp said. "With that kind of use, there is significant wear and tear on our appliances. We're so grateful for volunteers like Dan Ryan Builders who not only help cook meals, but also create solutions that help carry out our mission."

According to Knight, Dan Ryan Builders intends to continue and grow its support of Ronald McDonald House's cause. The next project slated for the team is to replace the microwaves at the Durham House.

"We love working with the guest families and staff at RMH of Durham & Wake," said Knight. "When we sat down and looked at where we were going to focus our efforts this year, RMH was at the top of our list. The work that they do for so many families is inspiring. I'm proud of our whole team for coming together to give back to the community."
