Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northeast Kansas provides non-profit communal living for those families who have kids 21 and under receiving medical care from one of the local hospitals. Currently they are housing 7 families with a total capacity of 8. Most of these families have babies in NICU, so it allows them to be surrounded by others who understand what they are going through while also being close to their child. It also relieves a small portion of the stress they feel during this, which is by minimizing the financial burden on them.
This holiday season Cumulus Topeka and the Seabrook Apple Market are teaming up to collect as many items as possible. On November 10th, some of your favorite DJs from V100 and The Eagle will be at Apple Market from 10am-2pm collecting items and hauling them off to Topeka’s Ronald McDonald House. Items can be dropped off October 29th through November 10th at the following locations:
