Give the comfort of a meal to families

Providing home-cooked meals to our guest families is an integral part of providing a “home-away-from-home.” This program helps alleviate food insecurity and lifts another worry from the shoulders of the families we serve.

Here are three ways YOU can be a Dinnertime Hero for families at Ronald McDonald House:

1 | Volunteer to Prepare a Meal

After a long pause on the traditional Dinnertime Heroes program, we are so excited to announce that we are now inviting volunteers back in to all three of our Valley Houses!

Please Click Here to Review Volunteer Guidelines
  • Volunteers must be fever-free (under 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and not having any of the symptoms below:
    • Cough
    • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
    • Fatigue
    • Muscle or body aches
    • New loss of taste or smell
    • Sore throat
  • Upon arrival, volunteers will be required to:
    • Receive a temperature check and complete a COVID screening form upon arrival
    • Sign an agreement acknowledging they may unknowingly be exposed to a person with COVID and that they agree to follow the health and safety protocols
    • Wear a mask at all times while on property
    • Maintain a distance of six feet from other families and staff and socially distancing from other dinner group volunteers as much as possible

2 | Donate to the Dinnertime Heroes Program

Even if you aren’t able to volunteer, you can support the Dinnertime Heroes program with a donation. These funds will help the House provide meals for families when a Dinnertime Heroes team is not available. Even better, gifts made to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central and Northern Arizona are tax deductible.

3 | Donate Food Gift Cards to Families

Food gift cards are also an excellent way to support our Dinnertime Heroes program. Whether it is to a grocery store or nearby restaurant, gift cards help families grab food on the go and get any specialty items they may need.
