VOLUNTEER APPLICATION
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central PA! We are grateful for every volunteer who joins us in our mission to provide a "home away from home" for families with seriously ill or injured children being treated at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital. Volunteers are the heart of our organization, and we are thankful to each for their contribution of time, energy and compassion. You must be at least 18 years old to volunteer with us and we cannot accept volunteers who are in need of court-mandated community service hours.
The following volunteer opportunities are available:

Ronald McDonald House of Central PA
- House Warmer (light cleaning, making beds, working with Housekeeping Staff)
- House Office (checking families in and out, answering the phone, paperwork, etc.)
- House Greeter (front desk, answering the door, welcoming guests, etc.)
Ronald McDonald Family Room

(Weekly time commitment preferred; located in the Hershey Medical Center.)
- Assist Families using the Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Cart
- Stocking and cleaning the Family Room, Cart and Lounges
If you are unable to make a regular, ongoing commitment of your time, there are other ways that you can help the House:
- Organize a fundraising event (with prior approval)
- Prepare a House meal or baked goods for guests
- Help with our aluminum beverage can tab and magazine recycling programs.
Please contact the House for further information and scheduling.
Volunteering at the House and Family Room can be challenging at times, since many of our families are under great stress as they face the crisis of an injured or seriously ill child. It can also be very rewarding, as you find yourself sharing a comforting word, or just being there to listen to a family in need. If after reading the above you decide to pursue a volunteer experience with us, please complete the attached application. We'll call you to set up a time for you to come to one of our orientation sessions and soon you'll be on your way to joining the ranks of those who decided to get involved and make a difference in the lives of families. Thank you! ♥
