A great way for individuals or groups to help our families staying at the Ronald McDonald House is by preparing and donating meals. We attempt to schedule a meal provider every evening to supply a meal for our guests, to ensure that they do not need to rely on fast food or vending machines. However, there are occasionally times when we cannot get a provider scheduled or circumstances where a provider must cancel. Therefore we like to have a contingency plan in place to ensure that our families receive a warm meal!

Volunteers are able to provide the ingredients and prepare the meal in the House, so that it is ready to be cooked whenever we may need it. Volunteers are able to prepare casseroles, pizzas, pasta dishes, burritos, soups, stews, meat and vegetable dishes, etc.

This volunteer opportunity can be scheduled daily from 9am-3pm. Please contact Jessica at jessica@rmhdesmoines.org to learn more about this activity!
