Opportunities From: Ronald McDonald House Long Island

It is said, that the heart of the home is the kitchen –

Welcome to our Kitchen!

Each morning, as families prepare for their hospital visits, dedicated volunteers have the unique opportunity to prepare a nourishinging meal in our fully equipped kitchen. This act of kindness not only starts the day off right for our families but also provides the much-needed energy to face the challenges of a hospital visit. By preparing brunch, you are not just connecting with families but also making a significant difference in a child’s life.

❤  Brunch is served from 11:00 am. The earliest you may arrive at the house is 9:30 am.

❤  The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils and instruments.

❤  We ask that you provide the ingredients and the cooking experts!

Please take a moment to review our guidelines here. 

Note: If you are under the age of 18 you MUST be accompanied by an adult

❤  The team leader must sign up to reserve the date and shift. Each sign-up is for one group of up to 12 participants only. Individuals may not join other groups. Once the team leader signs up and enters the team name, the system will automatically hold all 12 spots for the entire team
