“We are thrilled to welcome Charles to our board,” said Grace McIntosh, the nonprofit’s executive director. “His expertise comes at a pivotal moment for RMHC-SLA, propelling us forward in our relentless pursuit of advancing our mission of providing a home-away-from-home to families of seriously ill or injured children and providing programs that give comfort, compassion and care to children and their families.”

“The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities is one in which I am excited to help herald,” said Stewart. “I am very passionate about giving back to the community in which I was raised. Supporting our local Ronald McDonald House chapter means being part of a community that strives to provide comfort, care and a sense of normalcy to families during some of the most challenging times in their lives.”
