Ronald McDonald House Dinner Service

Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Mesa came together to prepare a warm, home-cooked meal for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Mesa. 

With care and compassion, we worked side by side in the kitchen, ensuring that families with sick children had a comforting meal to share. It was a meaningful evening filled with service, connection, and the reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Service above self—it’s a core value of the Rotary Club of Mesa, our members put that belief into action by preparing a heartfelt meal for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House Charities® House in Mesa.

For over 39 years, RMHC has provided a “home-away-from-home” for families traveling to the Valley for medical care for their children. Facing unimaginable challenges, these families find comfort not only in a place to stay but also in the support of a caring community. That’s why our club was honored to step into the kitchen and prepare a warm, home-cooked meal for them.

With aprons on and ingredients ready, we worked together—chopping, stirring, baking, and plating—knowing that a simple dinner could bring a sense of normalcy to families navigating difficult times. As we served the meal, we had the privilege of meeting some of the families, hearing their stories, and witnessing firsthand the impact of a shared meal.

The evening was a powerful reminder of the importance of community, kindness, and the power of showing up for others. The Rotary Club of Mesa is grateful for the opportunity to serve and looks forward to continuing our support for this incredible organization and the families who call it home, even if just for a short while.
