Volunteers make the difference in the lives of all the families that come through our doors - by cooking, hosting, listening, nurturing, simply being there and helping.
All persons volunteering for the Ronald McDonald House of the Red River Valley must be 16 years of age or older. Volunteers younger than 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteer duties are varied - depending on the day of the week, time of day, occupancy rate, and number of families. Below is a list of some duties that volunteers handle at the House:
- Greet and welcome families and visitors to the House
- Register families into the House
- Answer phone calls
- Handle calls from hospital personnel, families and visitors
- Assist with mailings
- Write thank you letters to donors
- Assist with clerical or data entry work
- Help keep kitchen and public areas well organized
- Assist volunteer groups with the evening meal
- Drive the van at scheduled times or as needed (additional training necessary)
- Become a Guest Chef and provide home-cooked meals for our families.
While the list describes typical volunteer duties, our House is successful in serving families due to the flexibility of our volunteers. We depend on people who are willing to pitch in wherever needed. Be sure to check out the RMHC-RRV Calendar for upcoming events or dates to volunteer, Guest Chef, or participate in a fundraiser.
