Ronald McDonald Lunch Serve by ZJMF on 07/15/2023
On July 15th 2023, the Zcharia Jose Memorial Foundation team had the privilege of participating in the Meal Program at Ronald McDonald Home located at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. This program aims to provide meals and support to families in need during their time at the medical center. Our team took part in preparing and serving lunch to approximately 40-50 individuals. The experience was both rewarding and fulfilling as we had the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of these families.
To ensure the smooth execution of the event, our team adhered to the provided guidelines set by Ronald McDonald Home. We prioritized hygiene, food safety, and the specific dietary considerations of the families we served. By following these guidelines, we aimed to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone involved.
Our team found great satisfaction in being able to directly contribute to the well-being of these families. The opportunity to serve a nutritious meal and alleviate some of the daily challenges they face was a humbling experience. Witnessing the gratitude and smiles on their faces further reinforced the importance of initiatives like the Meal Program at Ronald McDonald Home.
In conclusion, the Zcharia Jose Memorial Foundation team had a meaningful and impactful experience while serving lunch at Ronald McDonald Home through their Meal Program. We are grateful for the chance to make a difference in the lives of these families by providing nourishment and support during their challenging times. We commend Ronald McDonald Home for their dedication to this initiative, and we look forward to future opportunities to serve and contribute to our community.
Zcharia Jose Memorial Volleyball Tournament 2023
The Zcharia Jose Memorial Foundation is devoted to commemorating the cherished memory of our dear Zcharia Jose and assisting in the fight against cancer. We are thrilled to announce our recent donation of $5200 to the American Cancer Society in May 2023. This contribution symbolizes our unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by cancer.
The Zcharia Jose Memorial Volleyball Tournament 2023 was an outstanding success. We recently hosted a highly successful volleyball tournament that brought together participants who showcased their skills and shared a common passion for supporting the battle against cancer. We take immense pride in sharing that the tournament winners, the Moonshiners (Tinu Thomas and team), generously donated their prize money of $300, while the runners-up, the KC Avengers (Abdul Kurnool and team), also contributed their prize money of $200. The collective generosity of these teams further reinforces our dedication to the cause. This helped us donate an additional $500 to the American Cancer Society.
We are deeply grateful for the tremendous support from the participating teams and all the individuals who backed this tournament. Our efforts not only serve as a source of encouragement for the participants but also highlight the significant impact we can achieve when we join forces in the fight against cancer.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering dedication and the invaluable work you all do, which enables us to support the American Cancer Society and KCHope Lodge in aiding patients and raising awareness. It is an honor for us to contribute to this noble cause, and we eagerly anticipate continued support in the future.
