Ronald McDonald House Charities of Maine is only able to continue operations in Maine with the robust support from our volunteers. Volunteers make our Houses feel like a “home-away-from-home.”
Gather your coworkers, family, or friends for a group service project!
Groups of fewer than 10 people are welcome to volunteer on-site with tasks like deep cleaning and special projects.
Have a group of 10 or more? We’d love to talk with you about remote volunteer opportunities that match your team’s interests and skills. Group volunteering offers a rewarding, team-building experience—while making a meaningful impact for the families we serve.
Please note: the group leader must be 18 or older.
Opportunities for groups of 2-9 people!
Volunteer to Make a Meal From The Heart
(2-5 people)
When you walk into the kitchen of the Ronald McDonald House and a group of volunteers are preparing a home-cooked meal for the families, you can just smell the love in the air. It is the aromas of a home-cooked meal or freshly baked cookies, and so much more. It is comfort food that rejuvenates the mind and spirits of families coming home after a long, stressful day at the hospital caring for their loved ones.
Deep Cleaning & Special Projects at the House
(2-9 people)
While regular cleaning is part of daily life at the Ronald McDonald House, groups can make a big impact by helping with larger deep-cleaning tasks. Volunteers may assist with spring cleaning projects, deep cleaning guest rooms and common areas, reorganizing spaces, yard clean-up, or other special projects—depending on the current needs of the House!
Opportunities for groups of 10+ people!
