Missouri Pre-Teen Volunteers at Ronald McDonald House
On Sunday, August 21st, 2016 Miss Missouri Pre-Teen, Abbie
Mueller, hosted a session of “Cookin’ Crowns.” This is a volunteer group she founded to
gather fellow young women of all ages from around the state who also enjoy
participating in pageants to prepare and serve meals for up to 60 people at
local Ronald McDonald House facilities. The group, whose rotating
membership has provided breakfasts and dinner for RMDH, also creates and leaves
cards and letters of encouragement for the families and patients staying
there. Once a member has participated, she gets to join the tradition of
signing the Cookin’ Crowns sign that is proudly displayed at each
session. Abbie plans on expanding Cookin’ Crowns’ reach to include
military families and service members by working with her local Fisher House
facility for the group’s next volunteer session. You can see Abbie’s social media posts
