Once a month for the past 4 years, several of the employees at Welkes House of Roses visit the Ronald McDonald House Charities and prepare dinner for the parents staying at the house who have family staying at Children's Hospital. "We always have a lot of fun and it is a great way to help our community, says Nikki Lemler, Manager of Welkes. |
Our involvement with RMHC started back when Nikki's sister, Kelly Lang, was involved in a service project through her church. Ronald McDonald House is close to our heart because they provide a home-away-from-home for families during the medical treatment of their seriously ill children. It feels very good to give back to the community that has blessed our business for the past 100 years.
Our customers can also help by donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities(RMHC). Click on The Why Welkes Box located in the right hand column of Welkes.com. A RMHC logo has been added to include a "donate here" button that will take you right to their website. In addition, in order to make it even easier, we have added an option at the check-out section within the order process. Just a simple click of a button helps provide a home-away-from-home for families during the medical treatment of their seriously ill children. While at the check-out section look for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Logo and select a donation of your choice starting at $1.
Giving back to the community that has blessed our family business for the past 100 years motivates us to continue to do everything we can to help these families during their time of crisis. The entire staff at Welkes House of Roses feels fortunate to be in the floral industry because flowers express the words that are sometimes difficult to express.
