Group Volunteer Opportunities

Great ways to provide a meal for families

A warm, nourishing meal does more than feed the body. It brings comfort, relief and a sense of community to families staying at Ronald McDonald House-Denver. After long days spent caring for their seriously ill or injured child, parents count on the meals provided by volunteers like you. We offer flexible options to fit your needs. Both our Denver and Aurora Houses offer easy and convenient parking for volunteers.

Additional Ways to Make an Impact

Recurring Meals – Consider becoming a recurring meal volunteer by committing to provide one meal each month. This makes an incredible difference for families in need.

Meal Sponsorship – Can’t cook in person? Sponsor a meal from one of our pre-approved restaurants. Our Culinary Team will help guide the process to ensure it meets nutritional guidelines and is ready to serve.

Please note:

For the safety and well-being of our families, we are unable to accept leftover food donations due to food safety regulations.

All volunteers are required to be 14 years of age or older. Volunteers aged 14-17 must have a parent/guardian with them.

Make a Difference for Families & Children

Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help far from home. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can support them all throughout their journey.
