Family Dinner Program
Volunteer-hosted Dinners
The Family Dinner Program is one of our families’ favorite services. Volunteer-hosted family dinners take place Sunday through Thursday. With the option to cater Sunday through Thursday and the option to cook at the Inn Monday through Thursday. A shared meal builds camaraderie by giving children and families a chance to get to know one another, gives caregivers a break from shopping and cooking, and alleviates financial stress. We invite individual volunteers as well as community and corporate groups to participate in supporting this program.
Serving family dinner at the Children’s Inn was one of the most rewarding volunteer events that I have participated in. I look forward to volunteering at The Inn again!
