Weekend Volunteers at the Bangor Ronald McDonald House

Save to Favorites

Ronald McDonald House Charities provides a "home away from home" for families of pediatric patients. Volunteers make a difference in the lives of the families that come through our doors by hosting, by listening, by nurturing and by simply being there.

Responsibilities include orienting guest families to House services, assisting with families checking in or out of the house, daily household cleaning and upkeep, front desk coverage, and preparing guest rooms for new families.

Weekend Coverage Volunteers manage all basic aspects of daily operations. Volunteers may cover full days and overnight shifts, or shorter daytime shifts (i.e., a few hours at a time). Overnight volunteers have a private room and bathroom during overnight shifts; overnight shifts include sleep time, although volunteers respond to emergencies that arise throughout the day and night. Volunteers choose which shifts they cover, and whether they are able to cover a few hours, an overnight shift or the majority of the weekend. This is a great opportunity for families to volunteer together!

Orientation and training are provided. An RMHC staff member is always available on-call for emergencies.
