Volunteering has been a meaningful part of my life. -Current Housewarming Volunteer at RMH–Oak Street

Be a part of the House that Love Built

When you volunteer, you have an immediate impact on families with seriously ill or injured children.

Our faithful force of volunteers make the House a home for families staying with us. We have an opportunity that's perfect for you. 

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Ronald McDonald House! 

Individual Volunteer Opportunities

You can make a world of difference in the life of a kid or family. Individual volunteers make the House a home as they bring their individual skills and talents to work. We also have fun opportunities at our special events.
Please note: We currently have volunteer opportunities at our Oak Street in Minneapolis and Children's MN in Minneapolis locations only.

Group Volunteer Opportunities

Work teams, book clubs, faith groups. There is strength in numbers. We have an opportunity for your group to come together and volunteer with us. We'd love to have you!
