Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth Pleas for Help Stocking Pantry Shelves

However, that’s certainly not the case for more than 800 families who have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth this year.
“I’ve never seen our pantry as low as it is,” stated Jennifer Johns, executive director of the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth. “We are 100% dependent on the generosity of the public, and are in tremendous need of many non-perishable food items.”
