Volunteers are the heart of Ronald McDonald House Charleston, helping us care for families seven days a week. Whether you enjoy cooking meals, assisting with day-to-day operations inside the House, or supporting our special events, there is a meaningful opportunity for everyone to make a difference.
Ready to find your fit? Connect with our Volunteer Manager, Abby Henry, at Abby@RonaldMcDonaldHouseCharleston.org or 843-972-3049 to schedule a tour of the House and discover how you can get involved.
Our dedicated House Volunteers keep our doors open and our space welcoming by giving a few hours each week to support our team. House Volunteers maintain a set schedule of at least 2-hour shifts weekly. House volunteers must be at least 18 years old and commit to at least 9 months of service, subject to our needs.
Current House Volunteer Responsibilities Include:
Hospitality Cart Volunteers bring comfort, coffee, and a caring smile directly to families. Operating within MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital (Floors 1–10) and the R. Keith Summey Medical Pavilion in North Charleston, these volunteers wheel a cart stocked with complimentary snacks and warm beverages floor to floor.
By offering simple comforts and a gentle presence, volunteers help to create a supportive environment right where families need it most during some of their hardest days.
