Gather your friends, family, or co-workers to plan a menu and prepare a comforting meal for our resident families! We provide a fully equipped kitchen—you provide the food and ingredients.
After a long, exhausting day at the hospital, receiving a warm, home-cooked meal gives our guest families one less thing to worry about so they can focus entirely on their child. Whether starting the day with a nourishing breakfast or unwinding with dinner, your group provides a vital sense of comfort and support when it is needed most.
Contact our our Volunteer Manager, Abby Henry, at Abby@RonaldMcDonaldHouseCharleston.org or 843-972-3049
Everyone is welcome! Families, friend groups, corporate teams, university and high school student organizations, churches, and civic groups can all participate by cooking in-person or ordering a catered meal.
Cooking at Ronald McDonald House Charleston is a fun, hands-on experience that directly connects you to our mission. Whether sharing a family favorite recipe, a cultural dish, or a classic comfort meal, your time and efforts bring warmth to our House.
Breakfast & Weekend Brunch
Dinner Groups
Before heading home, groups are asked to clean all cookware and utensils used during prep, wipe down countertops, and load the dishwashers. Once the buffet is set up and the kitchen is clean, your group is free to go!
Prefer to sponsor a meal? You can provide a warm dinner or breakfast without cooking! Partner with your favorite local restaurant to schedule a delivery, or pick up the order and bring it to the House yourself.
Yes! If you are short on time or located out of town, you can sponsor a fully prepared meal for our guest families with a direct financial contribution of $350. Our team will handle the ordering and coordination for you!
