Volunteering at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House takes many forms. The ways to give time are many and varied; with 137 guest rooms, time and talent are always a welcome donation!
When people think about RMHC Volunteers, they often picture volunteers inside the House, restocking rooms or creating meals for our families. Our event volunteers are a very important role too, although you won’t necessarily see them inside the House.
Every year we have numerous special events that raise funds so the Columbus RMH can continue to operate and serve families. Without our event volunteers, these special event would not be possible. Event volunteering is a unique way to give time. Event volunteers often don’t step foot into the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. They support families by selling raffle tickets, serving drinks, speaking on behalf of RMHC and supporting various community fundraisers and event. The people who volunteer at events understand that even though they are not directly interacting with the families and children at Ronald McDonald House, the work and time they are donating is just as important.
If you are considering donating your time to the Ronald McDonald House, please consider becoming an event volunteer. Our opportunities are varied and there’s an event for everyone.
Thank you to all of our volunteers, both in and outside the House, for working to make Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio a home-away-from-home.
