megaBITES Meal Groups

We ❤ megaBITES Meal Groups

Cooking a warm meal comes from the heart and our families are so grateful for a meal made with love. Teams of 6-8 make a $1,200 donation and book a date. Then, our RMHC team creates a healthy, comforting menu and guides your team through a rewarding, fun meal service.
