Volunteers are the heart of the programs run by Ronald McDonald House Charities. Volunteers help make the House and Family Room a comfortable and supportive place for families. Caring and cheerful volunteers are often the first voice heard on the telephone and the first smiling face seen at the door. Whether by planning and coordinating an evening family activity, supplying and cooking a meal for the families, or committing to volunteer on a shift each week/month, our volunteers make our House and Family Room more like a home.

Volunteer must be at least 18 years of age and responsible to volunteer as scheduled.

Some duties that volunteers handle:

• Greet and welcome families and visitors to the House and Family Room
   
• Register families into the House
   
• Answer phone calls
   
• Handle calls from hospital personnel, families and visitors
   
• Help keep the kitchen and public areas well organized
   
• Assist volunteer groups with tours and meals
   
• Provide home cooked meals for our families.

RMHC has a constant need for volunteers to work 3-hour shifts at the Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Room. Special event volunteers help with fundraising events and other special projects for the organization. Additionally, volunteer groups provide much needed meals for families after a long day at the hospital. If you would like more information, contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 615-343-4000.
