Wish List DriveHelp support the families of the House by soliciting items that we are constantly in need of around the House. Imagine all the household items around your house, we need that times 20! This is great for those who need last minute school hours, are waiting for meal and baking dates to open up, brownie troops, High School clubs, Mom groups, etc.!Ronald McDonald Family Room VolunteerWe are looking for passionate and dedicated people to volunteer in our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms (RMFRs). The RMFR is a special place within the hospital, near the intensive care unit, where families can relax and “get away” while still being close to their child. The role of the RMFR volunteer is to staff the RMFR, uphold all RMFR and hospital policies, and be supportive to the families who use the RMFR.Cleaning ProjectMany of our families are coming to us in a state of stress and anxiety. They deserve to be welcomed into a home that is clean and inviting. A cleaning project will help create that peace of mind for families as they are going through their time between the hospital and work. We supply the cleaning products, gloves and tools needed to get the job done.Meal of LoveThe meals you provide bring love into the House, allowing families to unwind, de-stress, and fortify their bodies to be at their best for their child in the hospital. Groups of up to 12 people choose a menu, purchase the ingredients, and prepare the meal in our full-service kitchen, allowing families to find nourishment and comfort in a shared meal. Breakfast is served daily at 9:00 am, dinner is served daily at 6:00 pm.Family Activity ProjectThis is for a group that is truly looking to have interaction with the families that are staying in the house. Family Activity Projects are all about bringing the families of the house together for a couple hours of fun! There is no limit to what this opportunity can be, but popular activities in the past have been BINGO Night, Cupcake Decorating, Afternoon Tea Party, Ice Cream Social, etc.McBakers ProgramBring your warmth and your recipes to bake up yummy treats daily from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Bring up to 12 of your friends, family, work group, etc. to create delicious baked goods. This is a great volunteer opportunity for young volunteers!Pop Tab CollectionPop tabs remind us of an important lesson: even little things make a big difference. Pop tabs helps us pay the bills so moms and dads need not worry about where they will stay while their children are in the hospital. Start a pop tab program and count to a million!Individual VolunteerHelp us provide a comfortable, clean, and welcoming home for our families by lending a hand helping with these chores. Some tasks include cleaning and organizing shared areas of the House, restocking supplies, assisting families as needed, answering phones, administrative tasks, and being a warm presence in the House. |
