ImageFIRST Tampa Gets Ronald McDonald House Award

ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists’ Tampa, FL, location recently was awarded the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tampa Bay Friends Award, according to a news release. The facility serves three Ronald McDonald Houses in St. Petersburg, one in Tampa and one in Orlando, the release noted.

The Friends Award, which honors “individuals or groups that have gone beyond the call of duty, providing for the needs of pediatric families at Ronald McDonald House of Tampa Bay,” was given to ImageFIRST Tampa in recognition of the many in-kind donations it has provided during its partnership with the organization. At the Ronald McDonald House locations in St. Petersburg, Tampa and Orlando, ImageFIRST Tampa purchased all linens used by the facilities, and continually launders these items, all at no cost to the charity.

The services provided by ImageFIRST Tampa have thus far amounted to more than $66,000 in in-kind donations, the release said. In addition to the donation of linens, the healthcare launderer picks up Ronald McDonald House sheets and towels, and cleans all linens, folds each item and returns them to each location. This assistance saves the charitable organization money while also assisting the families staying at each Ronald McDonald House, who might otherwise have to launder these items themselves.
