One of their longest-running partnerships is with the Ronald McDonald House here in Madison, an organization that provides cost-free housing for families with hospitalized children. It provides home-cooked meals seven days a week for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Claims Cares uses the meal preparation time as a team building activity while striving to make a positive impact in the community.
“When your child is sick, it takes a huge emotional and financial toll,” said Shauna Thayer, Marketing and Communications Director, Ronald McDonald House, Madison. “To not have to worry about meals is huge for these families.”
In 2017, The Ronald McDonald House in Madison served 1,200 families. Support of local businesses is crucial to fulfilling their mission to serve these families.
“We have a small staff, so without businesses like CUNA Mutual Group, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do,” added Shauna.
According to Relayia Hodges, Senior Claims Professional, it’s part of our company culture: “We’re doing more than just processing claims or assisting with insurance products,” she said. “We are really here in the community.”
