• All volunteers must submit a volunteer application. Apply here
• Once the applications are submitted, our Outreach Coordinator will email you our guidelines regarding the program as well as available dates
• The group leader should confirm the menu with our Outreach Coordinator as soon as possible so families do not have duplicate meals for that week. Email Now
• Take a look at our Rooted in Wellness program for some healthy menu inspiration

• Our goal is to nourish our caregivers and healing patients, empowering them to provide the best possible care for themselves and others
• Volunteers are encouraged to bring fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables for the family pantry

• We encourage your group to prepare most of the meal ahead of time and either drop it off or set it up in the main kitchen
• Groups can also order catering delivery to the House. Staff will set up the meal
• Our kitchen is well equipped with appliances and pots/pans that may be needed for you to complete the preparation of a meal
• All serveware is located in our buffet closet in the Kitchen Galley but you are encouraged to bring your items in disposable containers
• Food is served buffet style
• Volunteers are asked to keep the kitchen tidy during dinner prep and are required to clean up the pots/pans/serveware or dishes used for the meal
• If you would like to sponsor a Chef for the Day meal, please give us a call and we will make all of the arrangements 
• Your donations are tax-deductible and donation forms are available upon request
• Most dinner meals include the following: salad, main dish, fruit or vegetable, starch, dessert (optional) and beverages (optional)
• Absolutely no alcohol may be served at Chef for a Day

• Beverages for families are optional, but if your group is eating with us, please provide drinks for your team
• Not all of our families can be present at meal times, but do enjoy their meal when they come home from the hospital, so do not worry, the food will not go to waste
• Ask about our inventory before purchasing salad dressing and condiments, as we may already have some
• What else can you bring? Fresh fruits and vegetables for  the pantry are a great idea! And we can never have enough paper towels, dishwashing detergent, bottled water, dish soap and hand soap
• Some groups bring decorations or choose a theme to go with the meal. We encourage you to make it your own and shine like the bright stars you are! *Please do not bring latex balloons due to allergies in the House
