FRESH & FRUGAL - THANKS TO WALMART FOUNDATION
|
Thank you to the Walmart Foundation for making this program possible.

In 2018 RMHC Arkansas added a new program - Fresh & Frugal – to benefit families staying at Ronald McDonald House. The focus of Fresh & Frugal is to help them learn how to create healthy, low-cost, quick meals and snacks to help relieve stress generated by concerns over the critical nature of their child’s health.
The goal of Fresh & Frugal is to instruct these families on how to prepare easy and healthy meals for as little cost as possible. Ideally, menus would utilize foods that are available through the WIC and SNAP programs. Classes focus on breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks, or any combination thereof. We have Guest Chefs volunteer to lead a Fresh & Frugal sessions to create a menu and provide a 30–45 minute cooking lesson in the spacious kitchen at the Ronald McDonald House.
In addition to healthy eating options, the program takes a holistic approach to overall health and stress reduction of families in the House. Families are also provided with yoga classes to help relieve stress and meditation classes to help them know how to reduce stress during their very stressful lives.
Thank you to the Walmart Foundation for making this program possible for families at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas!
