At the Ronald McDonald House, families can enjoy many of the comforts of home, receive nutritious meals provided by volunteers, and obtain emotional support through contact with other families, all while their child is receiving treatment at one of the local children’s hospitals.

“What a wonderful place for children and their families to escape the hospital atmosphere to a homelike setting with people who care and understand. You leave that house with far more than you ever brought,” said Howard Rohan, a sales associate with the Harry Norman, Realtors® Sandy Springs office.

Agents and staff from the Sandy Springs office showcased their superb Italian recipes for a sumptuous affair for all. The Italian banquet united all of the families for a time of fellowship and fun. In addition to a monetary donation, the Sandy Spring Office of Harry Norman, Realtors has committed to preparing and serving homemade meals each quarter for 2010 and has already begun planning the dinner menu for the next visit.
