The Visiting Chef program is a wildly popular volunteer program for groups of up to ten friends, family members, or co-workers. No professional cooking experience is required and folks have lots of fun. Volunteers provide all the ingredients to make a home-cooked meal or you may cater in from a restaurant for our families (approximately 100 servings). Volunteers will need to arrive in time to prepare their meal in accordance with our meal times.

  • We serve dinner at 6 PM seven days a week.

Please view our Visiting Chef Guidelines for more information. If you have any questions, please call our Director of Family & Guest Services at 352.374.4404 ext. 222. 

If you and your group would like to participate in our Visiting Chef Dinner Program, but simply don’t have time to cook, contact our Director of Family & Guest Services to help coordinate catering instructions.
