So your organization is interested in doing a group volunteer project? Great, we would love to have you! Please look over our list of projects and contact us to schedule a project and time.  If you are interested in doing a group volunteer project, please contact our House Manager.

Cook for the Families (Maximum 8-10 people)

• Participate in our Chef for a Day program.
• Bake cookies or cupcakes for the families.

Holidays and Special Events (Maximum 8-10 people)

• Decorate the House for the holidays: Halloween, Christmas, Chanukah, 4th of July, etc.
• Host a monthly birthday party for any family members with birthdays that month.
• Organize an art project for the kids in the House.

Off-Site Projects

• Coordinate a 3rd Party Fundraiser to benefit RMHC. Community groups can sponsor a special event to benefit RMHC. Please contact us for guidelines and assistance!
• Make “Welcome Boxes” we can offer families when they check in to stay with us. Boxes could be filled with personal use items such as brushes, combs and toothbrushes. Other items for adults could include current paperback books, pens and note cards, current magazines and small craft projects. Items such as crayons and coloring books, matchbox cars and small (not-stuffed) dolls help keep kids occupied while waiting at the hospital.
• Hold a drive through your church, school or club to collect canned food, paper goods, new toys, hotel toiletry items or other items from our Wish List. Ronald McDonald House can accommodate up to 28 families at a time, so we use a lot of food, toilet paper, paper towels and Kleenex! Check our Wish List for ideas.
• Collect pop tabs. We recycle them and use the proceeds to buy things we need for our programs.
• Plant flowers in small pots for us to offer to families.
• Change for children. Fill a sock for us–put your spare change in a sock at the end of the day. You’d be surprised at how fast it adds up! We use cash contributions to buy things we need for our programs.

Speakers’ Bureau

RMHC is pleased to offer a speaker’s program to present our mission with organizations throughout Southern Arizona. Please contact us to arrange for a staff member, or a member of the Board of Directors, to come to one of your meetings and share our story with you.

Thank you in advance for considering Ronald McDonald House Charities as your group volunteer project. We realize that a lot of our volunteer needs are not glamorous, but because of your donation of time and effort, we can use our resources to continue to provide a “home away from home” for our special families.
