VOLUNTEER

Hospital Family Room Volunteer

Family Room Volunteers work in the hospital setting at our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms. These beautiful rooms allow families to refresh with snacks, showers, laundry services, and sleep rooms while still remaining just a heartbeat away from their child. Volunteers welcome incoming families, help with small tasks and show care and compassion to our families.

Ronald McDonald House Volunteer

House Volunteers assist our staff with the day-to-day operations at the Ronald McDonald House. Duties may include office tasks, organizing, filing, cleaning, minor maintenance and many of the other needs that aide our organization to serve others. Individual volunteers or groups are always welcome to serve a wide range of general assistance around our house and offices.

Guest Chefs

Guest Chefs help to feed our families each day at the Ronald McDonald House. We have four ovens, two cook tops, two microwaves and lots of pots and pans to make cooking a snap! Due to Health and Safety Standards, all meals must be prepared on-site in our beautiful kitchen. Schedule the meal (here), bring the ingredients and cook a meal that provides care and comfort to the families of sick children. This compassionate act can be an awesome teambuilding experience for organizations, employees or business groups. If you would like more information about being a Guest Chef, please contact Cindy Antoniello at 806.744.8877. For the most up to date meal calendar availability, download the RMHC of the Southwest App in your app store.

Youth Volunteers (17 and younger) 

Ronald McDonald House Charities accepts a limited number of Youth Volunteers each semester. Please have your parent or guardian contact us to discuss arrangements and schedule hours. We can help with NJHS and NHS requirements for students if we have calendar availability. We love our Youth Volunteers, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Freezer Friends

Freezer Friends help to fill our casserole freezer to feed our families when we do not have a dinner provided. Bring the ingredients and schedule a time to prepare the casseroles in our awesome kitchen – or simply donate a store-bought casserole!

Bake Desserts at the Ronald McDonald House

Dessert Bakers bring all dessert ingredients and schedule a time to bake their creations in our beautiful, warm kitchen. We have plenty of ovens, pots, pans and cookie sheets to use. This is especially fun for supervised kids.
