What does the Ronald McDonald House do with Magazines?
When the magazine containers are full, we call Brandywine Recycling in Lebanon, PA to pick up the containers. They recycle the glossy paper and send a check to the Ronald McDonald House! Over $74,000 has been raised through this program since 2004 through the recycling of over 2,856 tons of glossy paper. Over $30,000 in 2008! What about Group Projects? Schools, scouts, clubs, houses of worship, civic groups, and businesses are encouraged to spread the word. Members who serve as a mini collection site can bring larger amounts and help save gas! How are the proceeds used? All funds are used to support the operations of the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey. We offer a temporary home to out-of-town families who have seriously ill children being treated at the Penn State Children s Hospital. Up to 21 families each night stay at the Ronald McDonald House free of charge, because of the generosity of our wonderful donors.
