Food is a simple pleasure, especially when you are a child recovering from a life-threatening illness or injury. Be part of the team that ensures good, wholesome food is unloaded from our fresh food rescue fleet, organized, and ready for our kitchen staff to create three meals a day for children and their families who are guests at the House. Although this is a behind the scenes activity, your efforts will not go unnoticed when our guests get nutritious and delicious meals so important to their recovery and resiliency. You also will have the chance to organize non-food in kind donations such as new toys, clothes, blankets, and other items a family unexpectedly needs during their stay at RMHCSD.
