| Last updated on October 20, 2009 |
Ronald McDonald House provides housing for families of seriously ill children while receiving medical care in Rochester. Our mission is to provide a safe and caring "home-away-from-home" for these special families.
House Warmers are the Heart of the House. They provide support for staff and guests through a variety of tasks including answering telephones, light housekeeping, small projects. A minimum of one year commitment needed. Need every weekend or every other weekend commitment to do a 3 hour shift, 9am-12noon, 12pm-3pm, 3pm-6pm, 6pm-9pm. An orientation is required and is offered once/month. New HouseWarmers will shadow train with an experienced HouseWarmer for two shifts.
HouseWarmers share why they volunteer at our House:
I volunteer at the House now because it is a rewarding experience. The opportunity to serve families in their time of need, to volunteer with others who all have interesting stories and graciously share their time and talents with the House, and to work with a staff that is so compassionate and genuine in all that they do is truly a blessing to me. After each shift I volunteer, I stand in amazement of the generosity I witness while at the House. It is a joy to me to serve others and be among volunteers who enjoy giving to others too. Whether writing thank you notes, doing laundry, giving a tour, or offering a simple smile to a guest, I know that what I do as part of the volunteer staff at the House truly makes a difference in the lives of many, and that is why I volunteer! Lindsay, HouseWarmer
Someone said, some people want it to happen, others make it happen. I am proud to be part of the Ronald McDonald House that is making it happen. The satisfaction that I get after doing whatever little I do at the Ronald McDonald House is beyond words. Mother Teresa said, we can do no great things, only small things with great love. I want to continue to do these small things with great love. I want to continue to do these small things to the best of my ability so as to make my own life more fulfilling and hope that on the path of my selfish pursuit, I am able to sweeten someone else's pain, if not for long, but only for a moment. The pleasure is mine and I am thankful to the Ronald McDonald House for allowing me to be a volunteer.
Sheba, HouseWarmer
