Rules of the Kitchen

(a guide for Families and Volunteers)

It is the intent of RMHC to provide tasty, safe meals and snacks for our families every day.
We are very health conscious and ask that you help us keep this kitchen clean.

We respectfully ask that you follow the rules put in place.

This guide is meant to provide information that will help you find your way around the kitchen.
or let you know where to go should you have any questions or needs during your stay.
To our volunteer groups, THANK YOU for giving so generously of your time and resources.

etc. that you need for meal prep are in lower cabinets and drawers and are clearly marked
