Description

Families and kids staying at a Ronald McDonald House are often on the go or at the hospital for long periods of time throughout the day. You can help make life a little easier by putting together individual bags filled with healthy, non-perishable snacks for families to take with them.

What's Needed To Complete

Granola and protein bars Snack-size crackers, pretzels and chips Snack-size cookies Snack-size trail mix, dried fruit and nuts Snack-size popcorn Fruit cups and fruit squeezes Pudding and jello cups Bottled water (8oz) Juice packs Any necessary utensils

Special Requirements

How It Makes A Difference

These packs allow families and kids to grab healthy, nutritious snacks when they are on the go or at the hospital for long days. Not having to worry about having food prepped every day saves money and allows families to spend more time with each other during a challenging chapter of their lives.
