Grand Rapids Police Department helped raise money and awareness for the Ronald McDonald House, Friday.

They posted on their Facebook page, a video showing officers and other staff wearing the red Ronald McDonald gloves which you can get a McDonald’s for $5, to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald Houses of Michigan.  Quite a few members of the GRPD were sporting the gloves! They also challenged the Lansing Police Department to take the mitten challenge. Is that a thing? Or did I just help RMH with a cool marketing ploy? #RMHMITTENCHALLENGE

Back to the real story, you can find out more about how awesome the Ronald McDonald House is for families with a child in the hospital and how to get your gloves and help, HERE.

As the chief said, they helped over 3,000 families last year alone.
