Even One Person Can Have a Huge Impact on Families
Volunteer
Make a difference in the families who walk through our doors
Thank you for your interest in volunteer opportunities with Ronald McDonald House Charities Wichita (RMHC Wichita)! We are grateful for every volunteer who joins us in our mission to provide and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children.
Volunteers are the backbone of the organization, and we are indebted to them for their contribution of time, energy, and compassion.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Family Room Volunteer
Ronald McDonald Family Room at Wesley Medical Center needs reliable and dedicated volunteers to help provide a “place to go when you can’t go home” for critical care patient families who need a break from the stress of their child’s medical care but are unable to leave the hospital.
Volunteers also take the Care Cart around to PICU & PEDS serving snacks and coffee to families who don’t want to leave their Childs room!
With dedicated volunteers we hope to have the Ronald McDonald Family Room open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the Care Cart going out twice a day.
A Family Room volunteer will need an hour of training before they are able to sign up for shifts.
Baker & Meal Volunteer
At RMHC Wichita, Meals is the cornerstone of our House program, relying completely on people within the community to keep it up and running. As a Meal volunteer, you provide so much more than just food: you provide families with time to decompress with others after a tough day at the hospital, with the comfort and warmth of a home-cooked meal and conversation shared with families. You provide them with extra support during some of their most challenging times.
Everyone can volunteer! Families, groups of friends, university and high school student groups, businesses, churches, and civic organizations alike volunteer to provide a meal for our families.
