Adopt a Meal

Adopt a Meal – Ronald McDonald House

The Adopt-A-Meal program provides a much-needed service to families who are supporting their sick or injured children. This program invites the community to cook and prepare meals for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City.

Meal Options:

Lunch/Dinner: Purchase and prepare food for one main dish (with a few vegetarian meals), 1-2 sides, individual drinks, and provide paper products, plasticware and napkins. Dessert is optional. We ask that lunch be served at 1:00 pm and dinner served at 6:00pm.

Dinner: Purchase and prepare food for one main dish (with a few vegetarian meals), 1-2 sides, individual drinks, and provide paper products, plasticware and napkins. Dessert is optional. We ask that dinner served at 6:00pm.

Groups will plan the menu, purchase food, prep the meal, and serve the meal directly to families. Groups are asked to provide dinner for 60 individuals.

In order to keep this process safe for you, our guest families and staff, we have put some modifications in place for this volunteer activity:

• up to 10 people
• Show no symptoms the day of the meal

If you and your group meet these requirements and are interested in preparing a meal onsite or if you have questions, please email Kydee Barbee, volunteer@rmhslc.org for more details.
