    Description

    Prepare a Hot Meal for RMHC Dayton Families

    "We cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity; it helped us so much to have a hot meal at the end of each stressful, scary day. Ginger is getting released today and going home for the first time. We are grateful beyond words." (The Hammel Family)

    These words ring true for most of our guests. In times of medical crisis, it is traditional for families and friends to prepare meals for loved ones. At RMHC Dayton, our families spend long days and nights at the hospital with their child. When they return to their "home-away-from-home," a hot, nutritious meal gives these exhausted and overwhelmed families a chance to relax and connect with others before the next day starts.

    Visit our website at rmhcdayton.org to see a calendar of available dates and to sign up to prepare a hot meal for our guest families.

    Meal opportunities are available seven days a week/ 365 days a year. Meals can be scheduled on a monthly, quarterly, or one-time basis. Participants plan the menu and supply the food, paper products, and plastic utensils. Breakfast is served Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM. Dinner is served seven days a week between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Please prepare enough food for 35 and 40 people. Dinner preparation must be done on-site. Our kitchen is equipped with all the reasonable cooking necessities. A barbecue grill is available.
