Maddie Sisk volunteering at Day of Change 2015
Hundreds of volunteers and local celebrities will be collecting spare change at 39 McDonald’s Restaurants for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga, a “home away from home” for families of ill or injured children on Friday, June 3 from 7-10:30 a.m.
"Day of Change is a great opportunity to show the importance of giving back, even in the smallest gesture," officials said. "Other than donating your spare change, you can purchase Times Free Press newspapers at contributing McDonald’s locations for $1. A portion of each newspaper sold will be given to the charity."
If you aren’t able to donate on June 3, Regions Bank branches will be raising money for RMHC the entire week prior to the event. Change buckets will be located next to the teller windows.
"It costs RMHC of Greater Chattanooga $66 to host one family for one night. With 26 families to take care of, even the smallest donation helps. Last year alone, RMHC Day of Change locally raised more than $16,000 in just a few short hours. These funds go to help the charity’s support programs focused to improve the health and well-being of children," officials said. "RMHC Day of Change embraces the importance of giving back and keeping families close to help those in need. Thank you to Chattanooga Times Free Press, Regions Bank, and area McDonald's for partnering with RMHC of Greater Chattanooga."
