Our families look forward to a home-cooked meal after a long day at the hospital. We are looking for groups, families, churches, or individuals are willing to prepare meals at our Iowa City House location and our St. Luke’s Family Room location in Cedar Rapids. At this time, we are not welcoming groups into our UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital location due to hospital visitor restrictions.
It is now more convenient than ever with options for every group.
Prepare a Meal: Your group plans the menu, brings the groceries to one of our locations, and prepares the meal for our families to be served at 5:30 pm. This option is available at the Ronald McDonald House of Iowa City or the Ronald McDonald Family Room at UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids.
Casserole Club: Come in during the day and prepare casseroles for us to provided when we don’t have an evening volunteer group. Just like the option above, you pick the casserole, bring the ingredients to one of our locations, and prepare the casseroles on site.
Chef Led Experience: This brand new option is for those volunteer groups who just want to show up and cook. Our Chef Robert Bly, will plan the menu, do the shopping, and have instructions and items ready for your group to do the cooking. For a donation of $400, we take the leg work out of preparing a meal. Only available Monday – Friday.
Cater a meal: If you can’t make it to one of our locations, consider having a meal catered!
