Many people volunteer with their local RMHC Chapters to give back to their communities. In fact, more than 30,000 volunteers from around the world provide a network of support for our core programs. Last year, volunteers contributed millions of hours of their time to prepare meals for families, host movie and pizza nights, clean and organize kitchen and play areas, and maintain gardens and landscaping.

Volunteer Opportunities
As a volunteer, there are a number of ways you can help your local Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Room:
- Fundraising
- Program development
- Event planning
- Serving families at a Ronald McDonald House or Ronald McDonald Family Room
- Serving on boards and committees
- Clean and organize the kitchen. Kitchens need to be stocked and organized so dozens of meals can be made daily.
- Clean and disinfect the play areas. You can help kids, who are especially susceptible to germs, stay as healthy as possible.
- Maintain garden, lawns and outdoor areas. Keeping up outdoor areas helps families feel like they’re staying in a clean area that people care about — just like their homes.
- Host a game or movie night. By hosting special nights at your local House, you can interact with families and bring them some fun during difficult times.
- Host pizza parties during special sporting events, like the Super Bowl or World Series, or awards events like the Oscars.

- Decorate Houses for the holidays.
