A Shreveport-Bossier businessman has been added to the board of the Arkansas Ronald McDonald House Charities.

On Feb. 2, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas (RMHCA) announced that Roy Griggs, President & CEO of Griggs Enterprise and a McDonald's Owner/Operator, was added to the organization’s Board of Directors.

This is monumental because Griggs is the first McDonald’s Owner/Operator from the Shreveport-Bossier area.

“I have been a McDonald’s Operator for 34 years and still loving it," said Griggs. "I am very blessed and fortunate to be in this position which gives me a deep passion for giving back to the community where I work and live. I believe in lifting the spirit of people and giving them hope.”

RMHCA said, "we welcome this group of strong leaders who bring high levels of expertise to the board from their respective fields as well as a heart for this mission. We look forward to working with these professionals to advance our mission throughout our 41st year of service and beyond."
