Take part in our cause…
There are many things that make a Ronald McDonald House special, but perhaps the most amazing is the way our community rallies around the families in support of our Home. Families, individuals, businesses, corporations, and groups help us by volunteering as a House Volunteer. The help us prepare meals for our families, and by generously donating their time and money either directly or through various fundraisers. We feel lucky to have the support of all the wonderful friends/volunteers in Northwest Florida to make this House a “Home”. Check out the information below for additional details on how you can volunteer.
If you would like to volunteer please fill out an application which can be downloaded here.
