Meal Program
We provide nourishing meals at 10 locations across Northeast Ohio, ensuring families have one less thing to worry about during a challenging time. With meals readily available, families can focus on what matters most—their child’s health—without the added stress of planning, preparing, or affording food.
Ways to Support Our Family Meal Program:
Meal Program Sponsorships: Partner with us to provide comfort and nourishment to families in need. Contact us to explore sponsorship opportunities that align with your budget and philanthropic goals.
Donate Ingredients, Supplies, or Catering: Contributions from food service suppliers, retailers, restaurants, and caterers help us reduce costs and serve more families in need. To make an in-kind donation, contact Amelia Tritt for the Akron Ronald McDonald House or the Family Meal Program for the Cleveland Ronald McDonald House and Family Rooms.
Purchase Items from Our Wish List: We constantly need gift cards, individually packaged snacks, and supplies. Our Wish List makes it easy to donate what we need, when we need it.
Prepare and Serve a Meal: Gather your group to make a meaningful impact at Akron and Cleveland Ronald McDonald House—our team will handle the menu and ingredients, so everything is ready when you arrive.
Keep Our Kitchens Cooking: Our professional-grade and family kitchens help prepare thousands of meals each year, but regular maintenance, upgrades, and equipment replacements are essential. Contact us to support the upkeep of these vital spaces and ensure we can continue serving families in need.
In 2024 we provided 118,342 lunches and dinners
plus continental breakfast, snacks, fresh fruit, baked goods, coffee, tea, milk and juice.
