A meal cooked with love to warm the heart.

(New Hyde Park, NY) On Sunday, June 24th, 2018 Nassau Chapter # 718, Order of Eastern Star of the Nassau-Queens-Brooklyn District visited the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island went on a tour of the facility. Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children and the Ronald McDonald House is where the families stay during these times. A Ronald McDonald House provides a place for families to call home so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little to no cost. The members of the Chapter were so happy to be given the opportunity to provide dinner to the families this past Sunday and cook a wonderful home cooked meal made with love. This was part of this year's Matron's Project and all the members were so ecstatic to be part of this act of Love and Kindness.
