On Tuesday, June 18th, 2013, Susan Campbell, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House (PRMH) and Linda Parry, the Director of Volunteers at PRMH arrived at Ardmore Toyota to accept a very generous donation from Max Paul. The Max Paul Family Organization through Ardmore Toyota, provided PRMH with two new 2013 Toyota Sienna vans to provide reliable transportation to and from the hospital for families staying at PRMH while their children receive lifesaving medical care.
This year marks the 23rd year that the Max Paul Family Organization has been providing PRMH with vans to transport their families. Every three years Ardmore Toyota replaces the vans with new vans at no cost to PRMH. The van services enable families to maintain their well-being by helping to reduce their transportation-related stress and expenses during their time at our House. Every day from 9am to 9pm, the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House provides scheduled van transportation service to and from eight area pediatric hospitals, with the majority of volunteer-provided shuttle trips to and from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
All families staying at PRMH are eligible to utilize the van service. Families meet in a dedicated meeting spot outside of our kitchen area prior to our regularly scheduled van departures and reminders about departing vans are issued via the House intercom system. In 2012, we provided approximately 3,500 van runs to the hospital. Without the generosity of the Max Paul Family Organization, this daily service to families would not be possible.
