30 Ways to Volunteer
We’re shining the spotlight on our exceptional volunteers throughout April with “30 Ways in 30 Days.”
We’ve paired each day this month with one of the many ways volunteers help children and their families. Their stories are filled with inspiration, and we hope they spark your imagination and encourage a desire to give back and share your own story.

Spread the word by sharing your story
More than 4 million children and their families are helped by RMHC each year - each one was helped by a volunteer in one way or another. That's 3.7 million stories about volunteers alone.
We know you have a story about RMHC. And telling that story - spreading that word - is a powerful way to help as well. Your story might not be about volunteering. It might be about your son's experience at a Ronald McDonald House. About your niece who got much-needed dental care on a Ronald McDonald Care Mobile. About seeing a family hugging one another in a Ronald McDonald Family Room.
The important thing is to share your story. Share it here. Share it with your friends. Share it with strangers. And you can share it in so many ways: a video on YouTube, a photo on Flickr, a tweet on Twitter, a status mention on Facebook. There are countless ways to share and inspire.
Be inspired by the other volunteer stories below. Be inspired by your own story - inspired to share.
