Hospital Volunteer

We rely on volunteers to extend our signature Ronald McDonald House hospitality to our hospital guests. As our volunteer at local hospitals, you can support families steps away from their child’s bedside with our Ronald McDonald Hospitality Cart.

Our Hospital Programs run seven days a week. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least two 2-3.5 hour shifts per month for 6 consecutive months. (We understand some of our volunteers have extended periods away during the year. We welcome everyone when they are available.)

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and are required to complete hospital health assessments, orientation, and training. Must be able to lift 15-20 pounds.

As a volunteer, you will:

• Welcome and acquaint visitors to the Hospital Programs offerings
• Provide support to patients and families.
• Make coffee, stage beverages and snacks.
• Organize supplies for the kitchenette and Hospitality Cart
• Push the Cart on the patient floors, visiting patients and families.
• Tidy the room and cart: This will include wiping the counters, in the refrigerator, and cleaning small spills.
