Meals from the Heart
Give families a taste of home by providing a meal at our Houses and Family Rooms.
Get Involved
Your time, talent, and treasure help families get better, together.
Every day, families in Illinois, across the United States, and around the world seek medical treatment for their children at hospitals throughout Chicagoland.
Every day, these families need to be close to their children so they can get better together.
And every day, we are there to help them during their greatest time of need.
Ronald McDonald House volunteers, donors, and supporters are a community of individuals, corporations, organizations, service groups, and more who support families in ways large and small when they need it most.
With generous supporters like you, we become a true community of compassion. Join us.
Individual Volunteer Opportunities
When you volunteer at our Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Rooms, you become fully immersed in the support we provide to families every day. Typical volunteer tasks include:
- Welcoming guests
- Hosting House or Family Room tours
- Cleaning, restocking, and organizing
- Household tasks like changing lightbulbs
Due to COVID-19, we have paused onboarding new volunteers at several of our locations. However, you are still welcome to submit an application and we will be in touch as soon as volunteer opportunities are available.
