  • Prepare Meals for Guests of Ronald McDonald House Charities Richmond

    2330 Monument Ave

    Since April 1980 when it first opened its doors, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond has been known as the “Miracle on Monument Avenue” - a moniker alluding to both its location and its start from a letter-writing campaign. Its mission - to provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare - and all the families that RMHC Richmond has served since its opening, has truly cemented this House as the House that Love Built.

    Volunteers will help prepare and cook a dinner for 15 people and lunch for 30 people. (Don’t worry, we will provide the meal plan, recipe and ingredients!)

    Available dates & times to volunteer:

    Saturday, April 25th, 4 - 6 pm (dinner)

    Sunday, April 26th, 9 - 11 am (lunch)

  • Prepare To-Go Snack Bags for Guests of Ronald McDonald House Charities Richmond

    Greater Richmond Convention Center (403 N 3rd St)

    Families staying at the House sometimes don’t have time to sit down and eat a proper meal. Oftentimes, parents and caregivers are too busy being bedside with their child to take a meal break. That’s where snack bags come in: snack bags are a lifeline for families who often don't have enough time or resources for a proper meal. It allows them to focus on caring for their child, and makes their lives that much easier.

    RMHC Richmond has seen a significant increase in need for snack bags. They currently go through about 250 grab and go bags per week and demand continues to grow.

    Volunteers will help assemble and pack 150 snack bags. We will provide all the components of the snack bags.

    Available dates & times to volunteer:

    Sunday, April 26th, 1-2:30 pm

    Maximum number of volunteers:

    There is a maximum of 15 volunteers for this project.

    Getting there:

    We will meet at the check-in desk of the Convention Center and look for a quiet place to assemble the snack bags.
