For Christmas we were able to make up gift bags for 21 children at the Rochester Ronald McDonald house and deliver them Christmas week. 11 girls from newborn to teenager received new holiday pajamas, makeup bags filled with makeup and tiaras. 10 boys from toddler to teenager received new holiday pajamas with superhero masks and stickers. We were only able to deliver to the facility, not personally deliver, but got feedback there were smiles as the gifts were delivered.
