How You Can Help the Ronald McDonald House

We would like to thank all of the volunteers that work so hard to make Ronald McDonald House a “home away from home” for our families. Small donations , together with others, add up to a lot. These donations allow us to serve more than 150,000 children a year.

There are many ways you can help the Ronald McDonald House, from volunteering at the House to saving pop tabs to cooking meals for the families. We also welcome any donations of clothing or toys, providing they are new for the health of our children. Please click on Our Wish List if you would like to see what is needed at the House.

If you would like to volunteer as an individual, please call the House at 486-6668 to schedule an appointment with our volunteer coordinator, Jan Pisciotta. Please keep in mind that children under 14 must be accompanied by a parent in order to volunteer.

If you are interested in helping with a group, please link the link above for Group Projects.
