Meals from the Heart Freezer Friends Morgantown

Meals from the Heart: Freezer Friends is a great way to lift our families’ spirits. We ask that all Freezer Friends follow these established guidelines.

The Freezer Friends program helps fill our freezers to feed Ronald McDonald House: Morgantown families when we do not have a meal previously scheduled. Bring the ingredients and schedule a time to prepare the casseroles or frozen meals in our wonderful community kitchen – (or simply donate a store-bought casserole)!

• All frozen meal preps must be scheduled in advance.
