Choose Your Shift
If a shift says “1 slot open”, that means one group can sign up for that meal. As the group leader, go ahead and claim it!
Once you sign up, your group members should also sign up for the same shift—even if it now says “Join the Waitlist.”
That just means the main slot is claimed. Our RMHC team will manually move your group members into the shift.
Should you have any additional questions, please email us at mealsfromtheheart@rmhc-ctx.org.

Prepare a Meal
We provide the kitchen—you provide the care. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner opportunities are available. Meal groups choose a menu, purchase ingredients, prepare the meal, and serve families using individual packaging.
Prefer not to grocery shop? Meal groups can make a donation, and we provide food and supplies—you provide the volunteers.
Sponsor a Meal
Support families at our Ronald McDonald Houses by catering a meal. Meals must be prepared by a restaurant or in a commercial kitchen in individual packaging and can be delivered by you or the restaurant.

Lunches with Love
Gather co-workers, friends, or family to assemble sack lunches so families always have a meal. You provide supplies, assemble at our Mueller House, and deliver lunches to our Family Rooms.
