out from the other side and has a special interest in the work done by the Ronald McDonald House. “I had to spend three weeks in the hospital when I was 10 years old,” recalled Fischbein, “so I have a little understanding of what these children and families are going through. Or- ganizations that cater to children are near and dear to me. We love to help and give back to the community.” Of course preparing, packaging
and delivering 50 meals a night in- volves the entire restaurant staff pitch- ing in, and doing it without sacrific- ing service for their paying customers. “Whoever’s on shift pitches in.
We box up the food and deliver it over there,” explained Chip Roberts, co-owner of Te Kickin’ Chicken. “Tere were two different occasions that we donated meals for 50 peo- ple. Tat’s part of our culture – we do a lot of charitable work and give back to the community whenever we can, especially when it involves kids and special needs children. Anything with kids involved is a no- brainer for us.” Hubbard emphasized that noth-
ing is more important to the Ronald McDonald House than its mission to help the families of hospital- ized children and that the GCRA’s overwhelming support allowed the organization to continue to take care of those families’ basic needs so they could focus on what matters to them most – their kids. “We relied very heavily on these
restaurants to bring in dinners for the families and could not be more thank- ful for the Charleston Restaurant Association’s support,” said Hubbard. “After a long day at the hospital, the last thing we want our families to have to worry about is what they are going to eat that evening.”
Tanks to the GCRA, those fami- lies ate well. IGT 20
