“It’s great to have a partnership with CoBank to provide funds like this to very worthy and needy causes,” said Edgecombe-Martin County EMC CEO Winston Howell. “We’re also very appreciative to have a program and organization like the Ronald McDonald House here in our community that impacts all of the co-ops and our members. They provide a home away from home for so many families in need.”
The Ronald McDonald House is an essential resource in eastern North Carolina, providing families with quality care and a place to rest and recharge while their children receive medical treatment.
