Food From the Heart - Volunteer Snack and/or Meal Preparation

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Idaho Ronald McDonald House. Volunteer shifts are scheduled daily and are generally two hours long for both making snacks or preparing a meal. Shifts are available seven days a week.

• baking/grab and go snacks from 10am-12pm (every day)
• lunch from 10am-12pm (Saturday and Sunday)
• baking/grab and go snacks from 1pm-3pm (every day)
• dinner from 3-6pm (every day)

Because we serve immune-compromised guests, we have some prerequisites for in-person volunteers. Our current prerequisites can always be found on our volunteer webpage: https://www.rmhcidaho.org/volunteering/

All minors must be accompanied by an adult who has also registered to volunteer.

If you get scheduled to volunteer, you are responsible for providing a meal or baked goods for the families staying at the Idaho Ronald McDonald House. You are welcome to invite up to two other volunteers to join you. As the volunteer, you decide what you would like to prepare. All foods must be prepared either in the Ronald McDonald House or in a commercial kitchen. Volunteers can send a recipe or list to check on ingredients, but we cannot guarantee that your requested ingredients have been donated in advance of your shift. If we do not have any ingredients, please bring those items in new and unopened packaging. We have a fully stocked kitchen and carry most of the basic supplies.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho now has online registration. Once you are registered, you can view online calendars for baking, meal preparation and House projects. Please visit our website to complete a registration, view calendars and sign up for shifts: https://www.rmhcidaho.org/volunteering/

*All volunteers must complete a registration at least 24 hours prior to their shift.
