Challenge

RMH schedules volunteer groups daily to cook meals and bake treats for the guests. Groups struggle to find cost effective and healthy meals to feed our large number of guests (50+ each day). Credit Suisse volunteers would research and compile a list of dinner menus (with attendant links to recipes) that would appeal to our guests and be manageable for our volunteers to prepare. Volunteers often have limited culinary skills. The recipes need to feed fifty adults, and provide links to the actual recipes.  

Expected outcome

Create a small library of complete dinner menus that could be used by volunteers to plan, procure and prepare a dinner for 50 people.  Quantities need to be scaled up to feed proper quantity to minimize mistakes by volunteers.  If software would project cost that would be a bonus but not required.

Resources provided

Built with love, Ronald McDonald House offers a comforting home away from home and a community of support for seriously ill children and their families. The House supports families of chronically ill children through hospitality (lodging & meals) as well as through social and emotional support programs. Parents and caregivers are better able to be present for their children's treatment, improving children's medical outcomes. In some cases families would not seek life saving care at Duke without Ronald McDonald House because it is simply not possible to live in a car or waiting room with patient siblings and other family, without access to affordable food, for extended periods of time.
