Taste of Home Dinner Program

After spending a long day at their child’s bedside, the last thing many families want to think about is preparing dinner. Through our Home Dinner Program, volunteer groups can provide a warm, home-cooked meal that helps families relax, recharge, and spend more time together.

Volunteers prepare and serve dinner for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House using our fully equipped kitchen.

Program hours:

Daily from 4:00 p.m. to approximately 7:00 p.m. Dinner is served at 6 p.m.

How It Works

Preparing dinner for our families is simple:

  • 1. Plan your menu and sign up
    Choose the meal you’d like to prepare and select an available date on the calendar below.
  • 2. Bring your ingredients
    On your scheduled day, bring the ingredients for your planned meal.
  • 3. Cook, serve, and clean up
    Prepare the meal in our kitchen, serve dinner to families, and help clean up afterward.

Volunteer Guidelines

  • Groups may include up to 10 people due to kitchen space
  • Each group must have at least one participant age 18 or older who will serve as the responsible group leader.
  • All volunteer groups are required to complete a brief orientation before beginning their activity.
  • To keep parking available for our families, volunteer groups are asked to park on the street rather than in the lot directly in front of the House.

Providing a warm meal is one of the most meaningful ways to support families during a difficult time. Thank you for helping make the House feel like home.
