Provide A Meal

Join us for Team Cuisine, a unique cooking experience for everyone

A home-cooked meal can make all the difference to a family at the Ronald McDonald House. Through Team Cuisine, our unique and impactful meal program, you will have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on families at the House. Prepare a delicious meal, under the guidance of our professional chef, designed with a carefully selected menu full of nutritious ingredients. We’ll take care of all the details, including the food, recipes, and cookware.

Your group of up to 15 (with participants aged 14-years or older) will be using our commercial-style kitchen and prep area which has open-flamed stovetops and industrial equipment. Please include any children attending in your total group number.

Volunteers will only need to arrive ready to get busy cooking! Create lasting memories while making a difference for our families! In order to purchase the ingredients needed for each meal, Team Cuisine meal groups will make a tax-deductible donation to our House.

  • $350 provides 100 breakfast or lunch servings

  • $450 provides 150 dinner servings

Timing for Meals

All groups arrive early to prepare their meal.  Once the meal is ready, we announce to our families and your group will begin meal service.

  • Breakfast Groups – arrive at 7:00 a.m. and are usually done with service around 9:30 a.m.
  • Lunch Groups – arrive at 10:00 a.m. and are usually done with service around 1:00 p.m.
  • Dinner Groups – arrive at 3:30 p.m. and are usually done with service around 7:00 p.m.

48-Hour Cancellation Policy

If you have committed to making a meal, thank you for your help in serving our families! If for any reason your group won’t be able to fulfill your commitment, please email Chef Blair, at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival time. 

This allows us adequate time to find another eager volunteer group that can fill in and ensure our families can still enjoy a home-cooked meal. Please note that funds donated toward the meal are often spent in advance on buying ingredients and won’t be refundable if cancellation occurs within 48 hours of your scheduled meal.

To register your group for Team Cuisine, please contact Chef Blair at Blair.Arms@rmhc-centralohio.org. Refer to the calendar below, to find out which days and meals are open. Available time slots will say “OPEN” in front of the meal.
