    Description

    Baking Program

    Everyone loves fresh-baked goodies, especially after a long day at the hospital. A wonderful way to support our families at Ronald McDonald House is to come in and bake treats like cookies, cupcakes, and other healthy snacks for them to enjoy!

    This opportunity is perfect for individuals, family gatherings, friends, and team-building activities. You’ll have the freedom to bake whatever you’d like, and this is a fantastic way to volunteer any time of year!

    A few things to keep in mind:

    • Due to kitchen space, groups are limited to 10 people or fewer.
    • Anyone under 16 must have adult supervision.
    • Please bring all necessary ingredients with you.
    • All food must be prepared onsite, and any pre-made items must be factory-sealed.

    Scheduling

    Our volunteer kitchen is open seven days a week, with shifts available as follows:Blank Children’s Hospital Location:

    9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

    1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

    MercyOne Location:

    9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

    1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

    To schedule a time for you or your group to bake, please reach out to volunteer@rmhdesmoines.org or call 515-243-2111.
