Housewarmers are the Heart of our Home, volunteering in three-hour hour shifts from 9:00am-10:00pm, 365 days a year.
Housewarmers make a difference in many ways at the Ronald McDonald House, aiding in the cleanliness and home-like feel of the House for all of our guest families. Tasks include but are not limited to, greeting families and community donations at the door, answering the phone, assisting with cleanliness of the House (vacuuming, cleaning of kitchens, loading/unloading dishwashers, sanitizing, etc), helping with the upkeep of laundry (linens/blankets/dish cloths, etc), helping organize storage rooms, provide tours to guest families and visitors, etc.
Housewarmers also have the option to learn how to become dinner hosts, front desk attendants and family activities volunteers!
We require all interested individuals to complete a short online orientation. To become an official volunteer, you must pass a background check, and complete two in-person training sessions (2 to 3 hours each in length).
We utilize a self-scheduling program that allows our volunteers to soon up for 3-hourur shifts when it fits their schedule. This is really convenient if you are unable to commit to a specific day and time each week. We also have availability Monday thru Sunday from 8am-10pm. We ask for a commitment of 2 shifts per month.
