The GTC of IFMA Community Outreach Ronald McDonald House Event was a smash hit this year. IFMA Volunteers prepared, cooked, and served delicious chicken parmesan with spaghetti and tomato sauce, mixed vegetables, macaroni and cheese, and garlic bread with sliced watermelon. Holly with RoofWerks hired an ice cream truck to come and all the children and families enjoyed delicious ice cream cones and ice cream treats after the meal. In addition, Roofwerks provided cheery red and white table decorations, including color-coordinated Chinese lanterns!

A few of the families commented “What catering company is this? Can you come back next week?” One woman with her family saw the spread of food and became overcome with tears as she thanked us. It was a very humbling yet gratifying event. The IFMA team volunteers below performed like a professional catering company, and it was a joyful experience for all!
