Meals From the Heart

Share a Meal. Share a Little Comfort.

After a long day at the hospital, a warm meal can feel like home.

Through Meals From the Heart, families, friends, coworkers, churches and community groups prepare and provide meals for families staying at Ronald McDonald House Coastal Empire.

It’s more than dinner.

It’s one less thing for a family to worry about.

How It Works

1. Choose a Date

Meals are served at 6:00 PM, with brunch and lunch opportunities also available.

Check our calendar below or contact our team to reserve your date.

2. Plan Your Meal

Plan a complete meal for approximately 25–35 people. We’ll provide an updated headcount before your scheduled date.

Meals may be prepared in our House kitchen or provided by a licensed commercial kitchen. Home-prepared food cannot be accepted.

3. Make Yourself at Home

Our commercial kitchen has the equipment and space you’ll need. Prepare your meal, serve it buffet-style and, if you’d like, stay and share some time with our families.

That’s where the heart comes in.

A Shared Meal Does More Than Feed a Family.

It offers comfort.
It creates connection.
It brings a little bit of home to an unfamiliar place.

Thank you for helping families stay close.
