Gift of time and heart

Every week, hundreds of ordinary Kiwis volunteer and give their time, energy, and heart to support families during one of the most challenging times of their lives. 

Becoming a Ronald McDonald House volunteer is a special and rewarding experience. You will be guided by our Volunteer Managers and staff to support whānau from across the country. Every act of kindness makes a difference. Whether you’re joining us on your own, with friends, or as a group, there’s a place for you. 

Find your place to help

There are many ways to volunteer, each one helping families feel supported while staying close to their child’s healthcare.
