Ronald McDonald Guest Chef

  • Ronald McDonald House - Highlands 1101 Central Avenue Northeast Albuquerque, NM, 87106 United States (map)

Home-cooked meals are one of the many ways patients and their families are supported and cared for at Ronald McDonald Houses. Please join ABQ Involved as we prepare a meal for the guests at Ronald McDonald House and help provide some nourishment and comfort to these families.

Ronald McDonald Houses provide overnight stays to families seeking lifesaving treatments at local area hospitals. The guest rooms provide safe and comfortable spaces for families to rest and recharge together following long days at the hospital. More than a roof over their heads, these accommodations relieve families of the stresses of finding a place to stay while far from home. This allows parents to be stronger partners in their children’s critical care.

ABQ Involved will plan the menu and purchase ingredients for the meals. All preparation must take place in a commercial kitchen under specific guidelines, so please do not bring any food or groceries to the event unless asked. Kids over age 8 are welcome to participate. Any children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please complete registration for each volunteer attending. If you display symptoms of illness on the day of the event, you cannot prepare food for safety reasons, so please email us at admin@abqinvolved.org to let us know you cannot attend.

Please note this event is at the Highlands location. The Highlands House is located inside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott. Take the ground floor elevator to Ronald McDonald House on the 3rd floor.
