SANDY, Utah-- Mountain America Credit Union, through the Mountain America Foundation, donated $150,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the Intermountain Area.
This contribution, made in partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, will support critical renovations to the kitchen in the Ronald McDonald House Family Room at Salt Lake City’s Primary Children’s Hospital, including commercial-grade appliances, new cabinetry, and all-new furniture.
“At Mountain America, we are committed to strengthening families and communities in meaningful ways,” said Sterling Nielsen, president and CEO of Mountain America. “Supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities helps ensure that families going through medical crises have a comfortable place to stay, surrounded by care and compassion.”
The Salt Lake City Ronald McDonald House first opened in 1988 with 13 rooms and has since expanded to a 75-room facility. In addition to the main house, RMHC operates three Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at Primary Children’s Hospital (PCH) in Salt Lake City; one at PCH Miller Campus in Lehi; one at the University of Utah Hospital; and a Hospitality Cart at Ogden Regional Medical Center—collectively serving more than 125,000 families over the past 30 years.
