Ronald McDonald House Charities of Maine is only able to continue operations in Maine with the robust support from our volunteers. Our volunteers make our Houses feel like a “home-away-from-home.”
Volunteer positions that fall under “Just for the Day-Individual” are: Event Volunteering and Guest Chefs. All volunteers for these positions must be over 18 and vaccinated for COVID-19.
Guest Chef Volunteers do require some notice for the House Managers as all those volunteering within the House must complete a volunteer application, background check, and confidentiality agreement.
There is more flexibility around Event Volunteering, feel free to volunteer for a specific event or we can discuss upcoming ones with you!
Our Guest Chef Program provides a well-balanced meal to warm the hearts and bellies of families when they return from a long day at the hospital. This program is for individuals and groups with a current maximum of 1-5 volunteers at our House in Portland.
When we host fundraising events in the Portland area, volunteer support is crucial! We may need anywhere from 2-50 volunteers for large and small events throughout each year.
Special events are full of energy and exciting to be a part of. Tasks include setting up, assisting in carrying out the day, and cleaning up for fundraisers and events such as Parking for a Purpose, Luncheons, Benefit Auctions, Basketball Games, and Awards Dinners, etc.
Feel free to contact Will, the Portland House Manager, with any questions!
