Meals that Heal

Families staying at a Ronald McDonald House spend long hours caring for their children at an area hospital. Through our Meals that Heal program, volunteers cook meals at the Ronald McDonald House for families, allowing them to spend more time together, without the stress of cooking or the expense of dining out. Please review our Meal Group Guidelines prior to your scheduled shift!

Helpful tips as you plan your meal: 

• The meal slot appears to begin at 8 am, but your group may come in at any time during the day to prepare your meal.
• Please bring all the ingredients that your meal will require. Before opening your condiments please check
  our House pantry and refrigerator for any open condiments and/or anything you would like to add to your meal.
• We ask that you clean up after yourselves once you are finished preparing your meal, washing and putting away any dishes that have been used and taking out the trash.
• Maximum of 8 volunteers per group. If you have a large group, consider signing up for multiple days or coming once a month. 
• All food preparation and cooking must be done on RMHC property or in a commercially licensed kitchen in order for us to comply with health and safety regulations.
• We recommend contacting the House the day prior to your scheduled date to get an estimate of how many guests are staying at the House.
• Store-bought items must be in original, unopened packaging.
• Anyone 18 years old or younger must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• All student groups must have at least 1 adult supervisor at all times.
