Family Dinner Program

The Family Dinner Program is one of our families’ favorite services. Volunteer-hosted family dinners typically take place twice a week between Monday and 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!
