Individual Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Southwestern Ontario. We rely on our team of dedicated volunteers who play a valuable role in the day-to-day running of RMH London, the RM Family Room London, and with our special events and fundraising opportunities.

Multiple opportunities are now available!

We are currently accepting Volunteers for weekend shifts at the RMHC London House, and Family Room Volunteer Host shifts. We are also in need of "Cart with the Heart" Volunteers.
