Community Outreach Volunteer Opportunities
 

On Saturday, October 13^th, in lieu of a monthly chapter dinner meeting, the Fort Worth chapter is conducting a community outreach activity to serve the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth.  The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth (RMHFW) provides a supportive, home-away-from-home for families of children receiving medical treatment at area hospitals.  One of RMHFW’s wonderful volunteer opportunities is a program called Meals from the Heart, which allows groups to go into the Ronald McDonald House kitchen and prepare a home cooked meal for the parentsstaying there.  Providing meals is a way for families to rest and recharge to help them push through their day. Meals from the Heart is a core program provided to families, but it also creates wonderful volunteer opportunities for groups.

We will be preparing and serving a meal to serve to the parents who are in residence that day (as many as 100).  The planning team has already begun meeting to plan the menu, recipes, preparation instructions, budget, shopping lists, and purchase the ingredients.   


Volunteer opportunities are now open for the Execution Team 

 
“Day of” Execution Team:
 
The “day of” execution team will arrive at the Ronald McDonald House kitchen on Saturday, Oct 13^th at 4:30 to prepare the meal according to instructions developed by the planning team, then serve up to 100 resident parents starting at 6:00, followed by cleanup.  
 
All team volunteer job opportunities will be posted in VRMS (https://vrms.pmi.org) under the name:
