Roane State Community College dental hygiene students recently prepared breakfast for 25 family members staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Knoxville.

"We were able to meet with some of the families and share in their stories of how thankful they are to have a place to stay while their children are receiving care," Gill said. "This is the fourth year we have been able to prepare breakfast for the families and the students truly enjoy being able to give the families a warm meal before they start their day."
