Dillard’s offered for sale a special edition of the Southern Living Christmas Cookbook to benefit RMHC, allowing them to donate more than $900,000. This was the seventh year in a row that Dillard’s has sold the exclusive cookbook for this cause.
“The contributions made by Dillard’s and Dillard’s customers through the purchase of the Southern Living cookbook will help RMHC keep families together while their child is undergoing medical treatment far from home,” said J.C. Gonzalez-Mendez, president and CEO of RMHC. “Over the past 21 years, Dillard’s support has helped RMHC give millions of families the gift of togetherness through the Ronald McDonald House program and helped children heal with their families by their side.”
With this year’s contribution, Dillard’s has donated more than $12.3 million since 1994 to local RMHC Chapters to support the Ronald McDonald House program.
“Over the past 21 years, Dillard’s has developed a strong and lasting bond with our local RMHC Chapters,” said Denise Mahaffy, a vice president at Dillards. “The work they do every day to bring comfort to children and families inspires us and makes the sale of the cookbooks an enormous source of pride and satisfaction.”
Dillard’s Inc. operates 278 Dillard’s locations and 19 clearance centers spanning 29 states plus an Internet store at Dillards.com.
