    Hey, guys! Today we are organizing a massive pantry for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Charlotte. This humongous space provides snacks and baking supplies for 28 families that are staying at the house while a loved one is receiving treatment at the local hospitals. I hope you enjoy this extreme kitchen and pantry organization. I hope it gives you some inspiration for your space!
    I was so excited to give back and tackle this space... with so many people touching it every day, it was in need of a true transformation to help everyone in the kitchen and at meal times.

    My second child was born at 29 weeks due to preeclampsia. He was cared for at Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN. Ronald McDonald House was such a huge blessing to us! They took complete care of us during our child's 55 days of NICU. We will forever be grateful for the help during the hardest part of our lives! ❤️❤️❤️

    I was blessed by RMHC when my oldest son was born premature and spent 2 weeks in the NICU in Tulsa, OK. That was 24 years ago 😳 as a Teen mother I didn't know what I was going to do because I didnt have money. Then the nurse referred me to RMHC & I was beyond thankful 😭 It was a true blessing ❤

    This is what giving back to your community looks like!! ❤
    In 2018, I had my premature baby boy. He was 2 months early and it was Easter week. We had to stay in NICU for a while and it was the worst most depressing time in my life!! On Easter day, staff at the Ronald McDonald house went to every single NICU room with an easter basket for every baby. The basket had goodies for the babies and parents. It was such a beautiful gesture that brought happy tears! It meant the world to me that my preemie got to celebrate easter. It might not be a big deal to some but for NICU parents those gestures make an unforgettable impact!! I'll forever be grateful. 💕

    I just had my 2nd open heart surgery. My last surgery was a little over 20 years ago. My husband was able to shower here in the mornings and grab a cup of coffee!! It was such a gift!! Years ago my Mom was a volunteer for RMH and she absolutely LOVED it!! So needless to say it’s been a family affair!! We helped them out and then RMH helped us in sooo many ways!!! Thank you Kathryn for serving and blessing sooo many people & families for years to come!!

    McDonald House is a blessing for families with children in the hospital. It gives the opportunity to stay close to their child without all the expense of motels and restaurants.

    My mother died almost 42 years ago after a kidney transplant in Nashville, Tennessee, when I was just 16. During the week that my parents were in Nashville, my dad stayed at the Ronald McDonald House. The good people there took excellent care of him, and when I arrived after my mom passed, they were so kind and caring to this 16-year-old girl whose world had suddenly turned upside down. I’ve never forgotten what a blessing the organization was to my family at such a time, and it was a thrill to see how they are still caring for families when they need it most!

    We stayed at the RMH in Indianapolis in 2003 when my son was in the NICU. We lost him on New Years Day 2004. I am forever grateful that we were able to be close to him and make memories while he was alive. That house made the most awful time of my life a little bit easier.

    I stayed at a Ronald McDonald house overnight once in Virginia. My two year old son needed to have some testing done that required anesthesia, and I had a two month old infant. I was so grateful for the resource. It is mind boggling to think of the impact that the Ronald McDonald house has seven days a week for so many families.

    Our child needs frequent hospital visits and we’ve stayed at the RMDH. I can’t even explain how easy they make everything. You don’t worry about finding meals or snacks in between appointments. My son gets so scared and it’s so lovely for him to have spaces for some FUN so he can forget about the upcoming procedures and yucky stuff. ❤❤

    My parents stayed at a Ronald McDonald house when I had heart surgery 30 years ago. It was so important for me as a kiddo to know my mom was just a few minutes away and for her it was comforting knowing if anything happened she could get back to me in a matter of minutes versus hours.

    One of the best things about bins is that you can put your new groceries - boxes and cans - at the back of the bin so that you use things in order and nothing spoils.
    My kids and I got to stay at a Ronald McDonald House in Canada for two weeks quite a number of years ago. I am forever grateful. I donate every chance I get. 🧡💛💚

    Katherine you always say you are enough. I have been married twice(no course called Life 101). I have a chalkboard easel in my kitchen that says "You are good enough. You've always been good enough, you have have just been too good to the wrong people" Great makeover

    Would love to see you show some organizing ideas for medical families! My 19 month old just received a kidney transplant and was on dialysis 18 months prior, so medical supplies has been our life. I have experimented with lots of organizing and medication storage ideas, but it’s difficult!

  • @tarbhnathrac
    @tarbhnathrac ปีที่แล้ว +7

    VERY well done. The only thing I would add/suggest for ease of use would be battery-powered motion detector lights on many of the shelves (especially the lower ones). The units have such cavernous cubbies that not a whole lot of light seems to get in. Little motion detector lights adhered to the under side of the shelf above would go a long way towards making selection easier.

    I ALWAYS watch your videos. I ALWAYS give a thumbs-up. I rarely, however, comment. This, to me, is probably one of the most precious videos I've seen. Thank you, for giving the pantry, kitchen area of the Ronald McDonald's House, the organizational structure and tips that were needed. Tips all of us could benefit from, as well... It reminds us that there are so many generous, wonderful people out there who donate, not only money, and goods, but also their time, for such a worthy cause. That includes you, dear Kathryn. Job well done...

    I stayed in the Ronald McDonald house in Chapel hill NC after having fetal surgery on my son to help with his diagnoses of spina bifida. The people there are so kind and generous. I couldn’t have done it without them during that time in my pregnancy. It brings me so much joy to see you helping in the pantry here. You are so amazing! Bless you and all the ones who have helped in the Ronald McDonald houses all around the world ❤❤

    SIMPLY ADORE YOU Kathryn. No measuring device has yet been created to measure how much. XO XO XO
    PS. Friends, remember the dates on foods like pantry items are 99% best by, use by, or SALE by dates. Manufactures have tested the product for that duration that is stamped and assure the quality, taste, performance is up the standard they strive for. Doesn't mean the foods are expired, bad or spoiled. Some instances where fats and oils will go rancid, they are still safe to consume, beyond those dates but will just taste a bit off.
    In this instance, I appreciate that the mission is ensuring the families are served THE BEST. Flavor, familiar tastes can provide comfort and these families deserve all the stimuli of comfort they can absorb. XO

    Ronald McDonald house has been such a blessing to my family more than once. My husband and I spent 4 weeks there with our oldest son and then on and off for over 4 months with our youngest daughter (both were preemies). Fast forward 25 years and my daughter and son in law stayed at RMH for 3 months when their son was born premature also. I don’t know how we would have made it without RMH. So many times my husband and I didn’t have extra money to keep eating out (even with discount cards for the hospital cafeteria) and it was so wonderful to come in and find that volunteers had cooked a meal that day and the food available for snacks was such a blessing. Those times were very difficult. I thank God for RMH.

    What a wonderful gift! RMH helped my sister and her family last year when my niece went in for her kidney transplant. She was in the hospital for almost 3 weeks and RMH gave my sister and brother-in-law a place to stay while she was there. They appreciated the home cooked meals, laundry facilities, and warm bed close to their daughter. I always now round up when eating at McDonald's as a small way to give back.

What a great charity to have ❤

    They are in the Children's hospitals as well. When my son was in the hospital here locally they had a family room ran by the roland McDonald's house. They had drinks, quick make foods, snacks, tvs, tables, books, games for the family to be able to spend time with thier child ans not be on the hospital room itself. They are an amazing organization. If you can't find a McDonald's house in your town check your local Children's hospital They probably have a huge family room there. Being the parent who stayed at the hospital with my son 24/7 they were truly a blessing.

    My grandson was born with a complete bilateral cleft lip and palette. (Both his soft and hard palette were affected) We go to the RMH in Winston-Salem NC. They are such a blessing. I don't know how we could do it back and forth (2 hrs away) with multiple surgeries throughout his life without this organization. The people there are so kind and caring, supportive. I will forever be grateful to RMHC.

    Our church had an Awana group that collected items for the Ronald McDonald House in Orlando. We filled up 2 vehicles and delivered to the RMH. We had a tour of the RMH and saw their needs.

    This is so incredibly amazing of you to do! I would love to learn how to help! I always round up to give to this foundation! If I order something that’s only like $1, I round up to another dollar!

    I had vasa previa with my second pregnancy. My placenta was in two pieces with a veil of blood vessels covering my cervix. As I was high risk it was necessary for me to be in a larger centre to carefully wait until our baby was big enough to deliver safely. I stayed at RMH Winnipeg for weeks while my husband and two year old were five hours away at home. They would come to visit me on weekends. It was great having a space that felt like home to enjoy family time together. I ended up having an emergency c section after I started to bleed. My son was early but he was a fighter. RMH was key in my son’s survival. If I wasn’t diagnosed and I delivered in our home town there was a 98% chance he would have died.

      I offer extra credit to bin their phones. It's really reduced the number of infractions. I admire any school that even attempts a no phone policy. Good luck!

    We stayed in a Ronald McDonald house in St. Louis Missouri when my mom was in the hospital and being treated for leukemia (ALL). It was so nice to have a place to cook meals and go to rest. It was so much cheaper than staying in a hotel and eating out or at the hospital,and it was definitely a lot more homey. Plus you were around other families going through similar things. It was a wonderful support to be with other families going through something similar to what you all were going through. We are forever grateful to Ronald McDonald House. ♥️

    I used to drive a shuttle from Holiday Inn to University of Michigan hospital for families waiting for an opening at RMH. Loved seeing them each day until they got in. 🥰
    Gladly sent them a donation!

    My family stayed in a RMH in 1982 for my little brothers hospital stay. Then years later I stayed in RMH for my son’s hospital stay. I’m so very thankful that we couldn’t afford hotels near the hospitals because the emotional support offered saved me and my family from from breaking down. It’s not just a place to stay. It’s a place that helps keep the pieces of you together when you are at your most scared, vulnerable and exhausted.

    Thank you! It’s amazing that the Ronald McDonald house keeps families together, gives them a home away from home during a very difficult time. Having volunteers to help and even be able to make a meal and eat as a family. Amazing and beautiful! ❤️❤️

    RMHC Has been a HUGE help to my family and I am so very touched that you were so kind to donate your time, expertise, and spreading the light of it on your platform!
    RMHC were there for my family when my twins had been born 2 months premie after a very difficult pregnancy. While in utero, my twins had developed TTTS (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome) Were Twin A was giving all of her blood to Twin B.
    After their early birth, we were able to stay at the House while they were in the NICU. They were the absolute support we needed and was everthing to my husband and older to kids who were at the time 8 and 7 years old (the age of our twins now).
    RMH gave us the ability to stay close in a stressful time and allowed us to focus on our premie twins until they were healthy enough to go home.
    Ty so much again for your wonderful gift with this video. Ive heard of some really heart tearing stories from other families while there and we do our best to help out whenever we can still to this day. ❤❤

    Yay, RMH!!! What a blessing they were to my family when my youngest daughter was born with special needs. Many days on multiple occasions were spent in several different RMH locations, and it was our privilege and pleasure to “repay” this amazing charity by providing meals once a year for a long while. I know having an organized pantry will bless so many families as they face such difficult moments in their lives. Way to go, Kathryn!!!🎉

    Thank you for working with Ronald McDonald House. Like so many, I had contributed to RMH never thinking we would use it ourselves. My family stayed for most of March 1995 in Iowa City. They allowed us to be together in the most horrible time of our lives. God bless you and all who help RMH. I would also encourage you and all of your followers to donate to St Jude’s and then pray you never know the people who you have generously helped.

    I stayed at Ronald mcdonalds house when my son was sick in the Nicu with asthma and after my daughter passed away. They were unbelievably helpful and so sweet. My life was upside down and they were so kind to me and my family. I still have some of the blankets and clothes they gave to us. So this holds a special place in my heart. ❤

    Thank you Katherine for highlighting the amazing work RMH. I stayed at RMH twice while my youngest son went through a brain tumor which took his vision and multiple bouts of meningitis, about 35 nights total. I will always donate to RMH charities. I will always throw any change I have into the donation bins you can find in McDonald’s drive thrus. It is so easy to donate and the money is handled so well. The facilities are great and the volunteers and staff are amazing. Doctors took care of my son; RMH took care of me.

    A family friend, worked at the Ronald McDonald House, years ago. She could not believe how many people stayed their on any given day.
    She would tell us people would bring food all the time, even already pre-made meals for families.
    The biggest thing that they also needed was linens. We was all already shopping that day. Stumbled across a clearance rack with all kinds of linen and purchased some. Sent them to the Ronald McDonald House.
