Group Opportunities at the Durham House

Providing a meal is a wonderful way to support RMHC families while tending to one of their most basic needs. The meal program removes a heavy burden from parents so they can focus on their child’s care and wellbeing. Your group can offer the warm welcome of a nutritious warm meal to families at the end of a tough day.

We welcome meal teams of up to eight people seven days a week. Meals are scheduled in advance, and the online meal calendar can be viewed below, with open dates appearing blank. Come cook up love for families!

Can’t volunteer to cook a meal, reach out to arrange a catered meal for families!

Meal teams:

• Consist of up to 8 people
• Plan and provide dinner for 60 people (protein, starch & vegetable)
• Members are age 13 or older; all groups have a minimum of one adult leader

It takes many hands to keep a large house running! Work groups for the Durham House do essential tasks, both indoors and outdoors. From yard clean-up to cleaning and sanitizing common areas to organizing donations and more – your group can have a significant impact on RMHC programs.

Serve up love in the Ronald McDonald House kitchen! The smell of freshly made treats is a wonderful way to support RMHC guest families.

Simply pick your favorite recipe(s), purchase your ingredients, and come on over to prepare your treats at RMH. The House has a four-station kitchen with plenty of space. Baking opportunities generally fall in the early afternoon on weekdays and weekends and is a great project for individuals and small groups.

Baking groups:

• Consist up to 5 people
• Members are age 13 or older; all children must be accompanied by an adult
• Provide all ingredients; please plan to make around 5 dozen treats
• Prepare and bake all treats on site in the RMH kitchen
• Package/bag all treats in individual portions for guests to grab and go

Wish-list drives keep Ronald McDonald House running. Snacks, toiletries, and cleaning supplies are always needed to welcome families home. These critical supplies are also shared with tens of thousands of families of pediatric patients at our partner hospitals each year.

Groups can organize in-office wish-list drives or direct interested employees to order from our Amazon list. Either way, your kindness will make a huge impact on families as they face big battles.

Consider organizing a seasonal, themed (summer or year-end) wish-list drive for office excitement and fun!

Ronald McDonald House Charities hosts a colorful collection of community-based events to raise funds for the mission. Volunteer groups are needed for day-of set-up, guest registration, support throughout individual event timelines, and for post-event clean-up. Volunteer engagement at your site is also available through wish-list drives and other projects.

There’s an RMHC event for every company! Contact us to discuss how your employees can become involved – we look forward to talking with you.

A little love goes a long way! Nowhere is this truer than with the Ronald McDonald House Charities pop-tab program.

School groups, service clubs, congregations, families, neighborhoods, and more collect pop tabs from aluminum cans. The recycling income generated from pop tabs helps support programs like Ronald McDonald Houses and in-hospital Family Rooms across the Triangle. Tabs can be delivered to RMH of Chapel Hill, RMH of Durham, or any American Legion post in NC.

It’s truly a program where everyone belongs!
