The Ronald McDonald House Charities Bangor House is a "home away from home" for families whose children are hospitalized or receiving treatment locally. RMHC offers a warm, safe place for families to stay with all the accommodations of home. Guest families have their own private rooms and may enjoy shared living spaces such as the living room, kitchen, laundry room, library and playground. RMHC is seeking compassionate individuals to help keep our House running strong! Volunteers assist with answering phones and covering the front desk, checking new families into the house, and being a resource and support for families. Volunteers support our guest families by offering a listening ear and words of encouragement. Volunteers assist with day-to-day operations based on daily needs and volunteer preferences. Daily needs may include cleaning, organizing and restocking common areas throughout the House, and cleaning rooms after families check out of the house. If you're interested in helping to keep families close while their child receives treatment, we would love to hear from you!

Guest Chef Volunteers provide meals for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Bangor. Your efforts will alleviate stress for families who have been at the hospital all day, as they will not have to plan, purchase, or prepare dinner for their family. This is a great activity for individuals or groups (Please note, group size is limited to 5 participants). This program is flexible, allowing volunteers to cook a meal once, as a regular occurrence, or as desired. The Ronald McDonald House is open 365 days a year and is looking for volunteers to help cook for our families each night of the week including weekends and holidays.

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.
