Meals from the Heart

Providing our families with nutritious meals so they can focus on the health of their child.

If giving back is your passion, you must experience our Meals from the Heart program!

Under the guidance of a professional Chef, join us in our kitchen and make a difference by providing, preparing, and serving a delicious meal to guest families in our Family Dining Room.

This experience is great for team building with coworkers, school groups (ages 16+), church or civic groups, birthday and anniversary celebrations, or any group of up to 8 people.

Each group participating in our Meals from the Heart program makes a tax-deductible donation to our House to help provide the meal and support the program, with payment due at the time of booking.

When booking your date with our Volunteer Services Manager, please verify whether Chef Ian will be onsite to assist you in preparing the meal for families for your cooking experience (based on availability). Chef Ian will prepare your menu and gather the necessary food items and supplies to help you prepare meals.

Make a Difference for Families & Children

Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can support them all throughout their journey.
