Maine Students Help Ronald McDonald House

The SkillsUSA chapter at the Westbrook Regional Vocational Center in Westbrook, Maine supported their local Ronald McDonald House during SkillsUSA Week. The students made blankets for the home. Ronald McDonald Houses nationwide provide a home away from home for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. This year, the students also adopted a nursing home and made many monthly projects according to the needs of the residents.
