    Description

    Help make our Ronald McDonald House families feel a little more at home by preparing a casserole or freezer-ready meal! Having pre-made meals ready for our families allows us to offer a comforting meal at any time. This opportunity is great for individuals, family gatherings, friends, or team-building days.

    You have total freedom to make any freezer-friendly dish-traditional casseroles, pizzas, pasta dishes, soups, and more. Just keep in mind that meals should be prepared to freeze for future use.

    A few important notes:

    • Due to kitchen space, we ask that groups be 10 people or fewer.
    • Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
    • Please bring all necessary ingredients with you.
    • All food must be prepared onsite, and any pre-made food must be factory-sealed.
