Dinner on the House Guidelines
Thank you in advance for providing a meal for our guest families. Your generous support helps make
the Ronald McDonald House of Northwest Ohio a ‘home away from home” for families with
seriously ill or injured children.
Please be aware of the following guidelines before preparing a meal at our House. They may help
make your experience more pleasant for your volunteers and our families.
♥ All meals must be scheduled in advance. To schedule a meal at the Ronald McDonald House of
Northwest Ohio, please call 419-471-4663.
♥ All group members must be free of contagious illnesses (e.g., chicken pox, flu, colds, strep throat,
etc.) when volunteering at our House. Everyone preparing food should use good hygiene practice
(i.e., washing hands thoroughly and often, etc.) Please note we highly recommend wearing gloves
while preparing food. We provide gloves in our kitchen.
♥ Due to limited kitchen and dining capacities, please limit your group size to no more than six people
total. All members of a group must be 18 years or older, unless supervised by an adult. Please have
one adult per five children under the age of 18.
♥ Your group may arrive at 4:00 p.m. or later to start evening meal preparations. Evening meals should
be served as close to 6:00 p.m. as possible.
♥ Meals must be prepared in our kitchen. All
meals are served buffet style. Your group is responsible for cleaning any dishes used in preparation,
emptying trash, sweeping and/or mopping the floor. Please leave the kitchen as clean (or cleaner!)
than you found it.
♥ Prepare enough food for twenty (20) people. If your group is planning to stay for dinner, please
increase your food to accommodate your group.
♥ Some popular menu suggestions include soup and sandwiches, baked potato bar, pizza, casseroles,
cold pasta salads, bratwursts, hamburgers, chicken, (a gas grill is always available), cookies, cakes
and pies, etc. Please do not hesitate to create your own special menu!
♥ Leftover food will be dated and put away by our Ronald McDonald House staff. No food is ever
wasted and is often eaten by families returning to our House late at night or the next day.
♥ Please limit your photographs to your group only. Due to our families’ confidentiality, their
photographs may not be taken.
♥ If your group would like a tour of our House, please speak to our House Manager when you schedule
your meal. This allows for advance planning.
♥ Please note that our families who are staying at our House are going though a stressful time. Please
remember to respect heir needs by keeping our environment at our House peaceful and friendly.
