Volunteers are the Heart of the "House That Love Built"

Ronald McDonald House Charities® of CNY volunteers are the heart of the house. They assist us in many areas on an ongoing basis and make a difference in the lives of our guest families.

Here's How You Can Help

Dinner and Dessert

- We are looking for volunteers to prepare meals and/or desserts (cookies and cakes are favorites) for our guest families. You may cook at your own home and drop off or use the RMHC kitchen. Individuals and groups welcome. We'll come and schedule you for a one-time, monthly, or quarterly chef's duty.

Main Office Assistant

- Duties include greeting visitors and guests, answering the phones, accepting donations, taking hospital referrals, guest check-ins and check-outs, and various other tasks as needed. (Evening shifts include some light housekeeping duties). Available shifts are Monday through Friday from : 10am to 1pm, 1 to 4pm, or 6 to 9pm.

Summer Suppers

- Host a cookout at the house for our guest families. We provide the grill and guests...you supply the food and chefs!

Touch of Home

- Organize a group of your friends, family or neighbors, collect and deliver "Wish List" items to the House on a scheduled day once a month. Our needs include home-cooked meals, baked goods, juice, milk, snacks, paper products, and cleaning supplies.

Special Events/Projects

- Throughout the year, Ronald McDonald House Charities® of CNY has special events and projects that require some extra helping hands. Let us know if you wish to hear our special events list.
