We are looking for groups to cook meals for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Each group is asked to cook a meal for a minimum of 10-12 people. We schedule meals ahead so you'll need to arrange for a date in advance.

Meals can be brought in fully prepared or cooked at the House. If you have a cold or feel ill, please call to postpone and reschedule cooking your meal. You are welcome to serve the meals to the families. Keep in mind, families are staying with us to be close to the hospital and their loved ones, there is no guarantee there will be families at the House to serve dinner to. We will make sure all the families know you are coming to cook and will encourage them to be here. Even if the families are not here, your efforts are greatly appreciated by the families when they return from the hospital and find a hot meal ready to enjoy.

Please do not prepare foods that are spicy or with alcohol. Our nursing mothers must throw away their breast milk and the preemies suffer. We appreciate your cooperation.

Time Commitment:
Please call the House at least 48 hours in advance with your menu so we can announce the meal to our families. (471-1814)

• Dinners should be ready between 5:00-6:00 P.M.
• Served buffet style (with the help of our staff)
• Lunches, only on weekends, should be ready between 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
• Breakfast at 7:30 - 8:00 A.M. any day of the week.
• Your time at the House will also include clean up.

What You Need To Bring:
You need to bring any and all food that is needed in the preparation of your meal. The Ronald McDonald House has two (2) kitchens with cookware and utensils. Although, if your meal requires any special cookware, please plan to bring in your own cookware (we may not have everything you will need). We supply everything needed to clean up afterwards.

Please call Susan, Meals/Volunteer Coordinator, @ 471-1814 if you have any questions or would like to arrange a tour of the House.
