Ronald McDonald House Charities President Dennis Young, right, presents Michelle Harutunian of Harvest Texarkana with a check for $15,000—money raised by Ronald McDonald House Charities fund-raisers that the charity is proud to give back to the community. The money awarded to Harvest Texarkana is in support of its BackPack program, which puts food into students’ backpacks on Fridays so that there is something for them to take home to eat over the weekend. Also pictured are Tara Stanley, left, and Tom Sadowski, local McDonald’s restaurant owner.
