Gillette has a Ronald McDonald Family Room® that offers overnight accommodations and a common space for families of children staying overnight at the hospital.

Ronald McDonald Family Room® Volunteer Opportunities

The Cooks for Kids (CFK) meal program is a great way to directly support RMH families. With three options, there is more flexibility than ever before:

  1.  Make a financial donation of $250 and prepare a meal planned by us. The Fresh FamFare team at RMH plans weekly menus with a focus on nutrition and variety. Ingredients and workstations will be ready to go upon your group’s arrival.
  2.  Purchase your own ingredients for a meal and make it on-site. Make your favorite dishes for RMH families! You’ll be asked to submit a menu 10 days before your scheduled meal.
  3.  Bring or deliver a catered meal. From pizza to sandwiches and everything in between, RMH staff can help you choose a restaurant and menu.

Meal times are available each night from 5-6 p.m., with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.We usually serve around 30 people and suggest 2-6 volunteers to prepare and serve a meal.

For more information and to sign up to volunteer, visit Cooks for Kids.

You may also volunteer at RMH as a House Warmer. Volunteer house warmers provide a warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere for families by registering guests, answering phone calls, conducting tours, baking treats, and tidying sleeping accommodations.
