Week 3 Making money for good

The first company that I like the most is “Ronald McDonald’s house”. What they do is house families when they have their children in hospitals. I believe from experience, is the greatest thing ever. When my child was hospitalized, it was hard for me to travel back and forth to California to be next to my child.
Our Ronald McDonald House program provides a “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost.  Our Houses are built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.”


The next charity would be the Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries. This charity helps low income families find work.
Since our founding in 1895, Goodwill has been dedicated to the social justice mission of serving individuals, families, and communities with the greatest needs by helping people go to work to be able to support themselves and their families. Goodwill annually serves more than 7,200 low-income, unemployed and underemployed adults in its job training and career services programs, and more than 1,000 young people in its youth services programs. Further, Goodwill makes high quality clothing and household goods available at very reasonable prices through The Goodwill Stores. Goodwill is a major employer of individuals with disabilities in the social enterprises it operates in retail, housekeeping, and maintenance, food service and light assembly.”
"The way out of poverty is productive work. People deserve to be able to work. People need a chance, not charity," Rev. Helms said.
Those are the words of the finder of goodwill industries.
