Notes from Volunteer Manager:
Brunch Buddies Program

Looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity? Then get ready to buddy up and prepare brunch for families staying at our three Houses while caring for their sick or injured child. Nothing says you care more than a home cooked meal! We hope you can join us for Brunch!

Brunch opportunities are available every Saturday.

Brunch is served at each House at 10:00 AM on Saturdays. Your group may arrive at any time to begin prep with most groups arriving at 8:30 AM.

HOW TO SIGN UP TO SERVE BRUNCH:
Below is a calendar listing the dates for the 3 Houses. If no one has signed up, simply click "Take" on the right-hand column. Fill in your name or group name (public info), e-mail address and phone number (this info will remain private and not appear on web page). Then click SIGN UP! and that's it. You will receive a confirmation e-mail immediately and a reminder e-mail 3 days prior to your scheduled date to serve. We are unable to offer the option to join an existing group. Please note, volunteers MUST be 14 years of age or older.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
We understand things happen. We ask that you please provide us with a cancelation notice 48 hours in advance. In the event a member of your group is ill, it is important they do not come to Ronald McDonald House Central and Northern Arizona. We have many children at the House with compromised immunity and exposure to any form of illness could lead to medical complications for that child.

**For changes or cancellations please e-mail our Volunteer Manager Jen Donnelly or call 602-798-5093 -- Once you sign up, you will not be able to edit. However, we would be happy to assist you with any changes needed.

Brunch preparation must be done on-site; unless food is prepared in a commercial kitchen and brought in. Our kitchen is equipped with all reasonable cooking necessities. Volunteers plan the menu and supply the food, drinks, disposable plates/cups/utensils. We kindly ask all brunch groups also provide plastic storage containers to leave the leftovers. Please allow time to clean up the kitchen and dining room after brunch. Please note, the actual number of family members attending brunch may vary. Our families spend a majority of their time with their children and if they miss a meal, they look forward to returning to the House to find something in the refrigerator prepared and ready to eat.
