Volunteers

By giving the gift of time volunteers play an important role in the day-to-day operations of the Ronald McDonald House. They greet families with welcoming smiles and listening ears, provide a meal, administrative support, help keep our House tidy, inside and out, and offer support to guest families.

Your upcoming work as a volunteer is even more important because everything you do will contribute to providing our families with a warm, loving refuge so desperately needed as they learn to cope with one of the most difficult times of their lives. We recognize that your time is a precious gift and we are grateful that you are willing to share it with us.

Meal Maker Opportunity

Providing a meal is about much more than serving food. It gives families a chance to take a break from the stress of hospital visits, connect with others who understand their journey, and enjoy the comfort of a home-cooked meal in a welcoming environment. Your generosity helps create moments of relief, encouragement, and support when families need it most.

Meal volunteer opportunities are open to everyone. Families, friend groups, students, businesses, churches, and community organizations all play an important role in helping care for the families staying with us.
