You can help! There are numerous ways in which to get involved with the Ronald McDonald House® of Oklahoma City. One way is to volunteer for a weekly shift at the House or as you have time for cleaning, organizing, repair work, maintaining flowerbeds, receptionist, or office work. Many who are unable to come to the House on a regular basis may choose to participate in one of our fundraisers or events, such as the annual Red Shoe Gala in September or the Lighthouse Triathlon in June and August.
Your help, whether it be through a donation of time or money, enables us to provide a clean and comfortable "almost like home" house for our guest families.
In-House Volunteers
Work closely with our staff and guest by answering phones, registering new families, providing tours, recording donations, preparing mailings, etc. Light housekeeping duties include preparing guest rooms, sorting and folding laundry, loading/unloading dishwashers, etc. Shifts are three hours in length and are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly.
Administrative Volunteers/Internships
Support our fund development and volunteer program through a variety of projects. Assist with data entry, mailings, etc. Proficient computer skills required.
Outside Fundraisers
Organizing a garage sale, bake sales, golf outing, etc. can help raise much-needed funds to help support our House and its mission. We rely heavily on fundraisers and donations to meet our operational expenses. Please call our Executive Director, Tamara Gilkey , for pre-approval forms to register your fundraiser with us.
Wish List Drive
Keeping our House stocked with basic home necessities requires a lot of donated food items and supplies. Our wish list is posted on our website and request items such as non-perishable food items, household goods: laundry detergent and fabric softener sheets, cleaning products, and office supplies. A copy of the current wish list is also available by mail or e-mail upon request. We welcome individuals, families, or groups to drop off donated items to the House daily, 9 a.m.- 9 p.m.
