The Guest Chef Program
One less thing to worry about when parents already have too much on their mind.
Our Guest Chef Program is a volunteer opportunity that enriches the daily life of all Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® families.
Just as other individuals, groups, co-workers, classmates, and clubs have done before, your group of up to 10 people will help relieve one worry for our families through your catering a dinner or weekend breakfast.
Meals should serve 80-90 individuals and be prepared by 6pm if dinner or by 9:15am if breakfast. Our kitchen is fully equipped; all we ask is that you provide the food, we will provide the rest. Prepare whatever you wish, just be sure to have salad, a main entre (please include a vegetarian option), side dishes, and a dessert. You can be creative or keep it simple, prepare the meal before you come or cook entirely in our kitchen. It is up to you.
However you choose to participate in this program, know that you are providing a service for the families staying at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® each day. These families often just don't have the extra time, resources, or energy to prepare or purchase a meal. Coming home after an exhausting day at the hospital to a fully prepared meal could make a huge difference in a family's day.
