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?
You (or your club, team, class, church, etc) prepare a family-style meal on the day of your choice. Our calendar is generally booked up to a month out, so reserve your preferred date as early as possible! You will receive a call, text or email reminder the day before your Share-A-Meal date. Drop off your meal at the program between 5:00-5:30 p.m. on your designated date. Or, if an earlier drop-off time is needed, most items can be reheated on-site. Staff is generally available to meet you at your vehicle with a cart upon request. Call or email the program with any questions.

*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.
