A: Volunteers must be 18 years or older, or with an adult. They also must complete a form online to gain a volunteer food handler’s permit from the Tulsa Health Department. Ronald McDonald House provides all the equipment you might need and has a pantry stocked with dry goods and spices. Volunteers typically bring other ingredients to cook the meal they wish to make.
