Provide families with one of the greatest comforts of home: A meal.

Join us in nourishing our Ronald McDonald House families by serving a meal and creating joyful moments together! Providing a meal is one of the most meaningful ways you can care for families, especially after a long day at the hospital. Through our Meals from the Heart program meals are prepared daily by community volunteer groups at each of our Ronald McDonald Houses.

To serve a Family Meal, contact us at volunteer@ronaldmcdonaldhousewtnnear.org to schedule or learn more.
