A simple meal can provide significant comfort for families after an exhausting day at the hospital. We invite you to visit us and prepare a hot, delicious dinner for our families with our amazingly talented chef, Chef Melissa.
Experience the excitement of cooking with a professional chef, with the bonus of helping families in need. Whether you’re looking for a team-building activity for colleagues or a fun way to give back with friends and family, our chef-led experience with Chef Melissa is a great way for groups to be part of our mission and serve families. As a Meals from the Heart volunteer, you provide so much more than food. You provide families with a sense of comfort and community.
To participate, groups give a $350 donation to support our meal program. Your donation is processed when you schedule.

Meet Chef Melissa
Chef Melissa joins the Ronald McDonald House kitchen with a belief that food is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to care for others. Her passion for cooking began while working at a childcare center, where she saw how a thoughtful meal could spark joy, build connection, and bring comfort. Drawn to the mission of Ronald McDonald House, Melissa is honored to serve families during difficult times by preparing meals that feel familiar, welcoming, and made with heart.
