🍲 Volunteer opportunities ↗

Families staying at a Ronald McDonald House have a child in hospital nearby. Volunteers cook and host — making a meal, setting the table, being the ordinary hospitality that nobody has capacity for when their child is ill. RMHC New England runs group and family projects alongside individual shifts.

Cooking projects tend to work for a family with school-age children who can measure, stir and set out. Ask about the age policy for the specific House and project when you enquire, since kitchen access rules vary.
