Columbia's Ronald McDonald House received several generous gifts on Wednesday.

The Farm Bureau helped fill the pantry with $2,000 worth of food.  Also giving generously was Dillard's, as they presented a check for $15,022.

The food and money will benefit the families of critically ill and injured children who stay at the Ronald McDonald House.

"Without the communities support we would not have the means to provide all of these services to our family, so it is extremely important," said Ronald McDonald Associate Jennifer Kesslein.  "We are a home away from home."

Each year more than 350 families are served by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Columbia.
