Dillard’s, Inc. (DDS: NYSE, “Dillard’s”) announced today that it
will make a significant contribution of more than $245,000 to local
Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Chapters. This donation was
made possible through the sale of Dillard’s exclusive Southern
Living Christmas Cookbook.
Dillard’s offered a special custom edition of the Southern
Living Christmas Cookbook to benefit RMHC. This exclusive, 210-page
hardbound cookbook is filled with 100+ brand-new recipes and 115+
full-color photos throughout.
With this year’s contribution, Dillard’s has donated more than
$15.8 million since 1994 to local RMHC Chapters to support Ronald
McDonald House programs. Senior Vice President Denise Mahaffy
states, "Over the past 29 years, Dillard's has developed a strong
bond with RMHC in our communities. The work they do every day to
bring comfort to families with children who are sick inspires us
and makes the sale of the cookbooks an enormous source of pride and
satisfaction.”
Every year, RMHC serves millions of children and their families,
providing access to care and resources that families with children
who are ill, injured, or hospitalized need. RMHC programs help
reduce stress and financial burdens for families when they travel
far from home to access medical care for their children. At a
Ronald McDonald House program, families can stay together, rest,
interact with families going through similar experiences, and enjoy
home-cooked meals – all just minutes from the hospital.
“We’re incredibly grateful for Dillard’s continuous support of
our mission,” said Joanna Sabato, Global Chief Marketing and
Communications Officer at RMHC. “The generous donation will
undoubtedly help impact the health and well-being of families with
children who are ill or injured when they need it most.”
