Share-A-Meal Program
Provide a comforting meal for our families
Every year, we provide dinner for 2,200 children and families who pass through our doors. Every night at 5 p.m., 365 days a year. Our families count on us, can we count on you?
How does it work?
*When dropping off dinner, please leave with a Ronald McDonald staff member to ensure your donation is taken to the families.
*If serving with a group of people, please call us ahead of time so we can make plans for multiple drop offs.
How many people should I expect to feed?
• The Ronald McDonald Family Room in Rogers Feeds 10-15 Adults
