As Volunteer Appreciation Week comes to a close, the Ronald McDonald House reflects with deep gratitude on the many volunteers who help keep its mission alive.

From Pet Therapy Volunteers to Meal Groups, Bake Shop Volunteers to Activity and Event Volunteers, House Warmers and so many more—each plays a role in creating a place of comfort and care for families.

Together, our current volunteers have given more than 1,600 years of service, showing up with compassion and helping families stay close during some of life’s most difficult moments.

They bring smiles, fill the House with warmth, and create a welcoming space for every family who walks through the doors.

A full list of volunteers and their years of service can be found below in celebration of the many ways they continue to make a difference.

“It’s a blessing to be able to come alongside them during this time.”

We are so grateful for volunteers like Colin, who bring joy into moments that can feel incredibly heavy. They create space for laughter, play, and a chance for kids to just be kids.

While going door to door selling Girl Scout cookies, Adalynn had an idea ✨

She asked each customer if they would like to purchase an extra box or two to donate to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.

A recent guest of the House herself, Adalynn turned her experience into an opportunity to give back—bringing joy to families who need it most.

Thank you, Adalynn!

What started as a simple idea has become a beautiful tradition. 🌷

Each year, these young women choose to give back by creating Easter baskets for the children staying at the Ronald McDonald House, and this year was no exception.

Together, they made over 90 baskets, bringing joy and comfort to families who need it most.

We are so thankful for their continued kindness and generosity.

A simple shawl. A powerful reminder 💛
