4) Donate Amazon gift cards to Read Write Spell for purchasing books. You can bring these to any of our in-person meetings.
Ronald McDonald House--Winston-Salem
We will continue to collect soda pop tabs at our in-person meetings to donate to Ronald McDonald House.
They can trade these in for money to support their programs.
Past FCRA Projects
Local Community Project - Book Collection for Ronald McDonald House
Our chapter received a wish list of specific book titles needed by the Winston-Salem Ronald McDonald House library, and members selected books from this list to purchase and donate. These books were resources for adults and siblings that were chosen to help families who have sick children at Brenner Children's Hospital. In the past we have also used grant money to help buy books.
Below are some pictures of past projects FCRA has done both locally and internationally.
