COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Members of the Ohio State Wrestling and Men's Lacrosse teams took part in a construction project in downtown Columbus Monday that will ultimately result in the largest Ronald McDonald House in the country.Â
The student-athletes helped with the demolition of the current kitchen and dining room at the RMH by moving furniture, removing flooring, moving appliances, building shelving and much more.
Since 1982, the Ronald McDonald House has provided one million nights of rest for families of seriously ill, hospitalized children. In order to serve even more families at the House, RMHC of Central Ohio has embarked on the largest expansion project in its history - a transformational campaign to provide a million more nights of rest for families when they need it most. With the expansion RMHC will be equipped to serve an additional 2,000 families each year, increasing the families served annually to 6,500.
