Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale partners with Ronald McDonald House to help families in need

(MADISON, Wisc.) - Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale’s team, which will begin moving in residents on May 2nd, helped to make the Ronald McDonald House in Madison a little more like home the past two months by providing homemade meals for visiting families. 

Chef Malek, along with the rest of the Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale leadership team, prepared chicken piccata, rice pilaf, and baby carrots for families on March 10th, and returned April 11th to provide a spaghetti dinner for families. 

“The families staying at the Ronald McDonald House are there because they have a child in the hospital. I know personally that it can be a difficult time for them and if there’s anything we can do to help make that time a little easier, we want to do it. It isn’t just about the food, it’s about letting these families know that they aren’t alone and our community supports them,” said Chef Malek, Dining Services Director of Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale.

The leadership team at Renaissance has committed to supporting the families at the Ronald McDonald House with a meal each month going forward. 

“We truly appreciate their efforts,” said Michael Rosenblum, Ronald McDonald House Director. “It was a pleasure to meet Melissa, Penelope and Chef Malek. They had the kitchen smelling wonderful and created a beautiful meal for our families, and we thank them all.”

“Meeting the families that are away from home while caring for their child was so rewarding. While we enjoyed preparing and serving the families, knowing that we provided reprieve for that day from grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning is what matters. We are grateful to be able to serve them all,” said Kim Kay, Executive Director of Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale.

Kay estimated that the Renaissance Senior Living of Hilldale team fed approximately 30 families each time they partnered with the local Ronald McDonald House.
