We currently are in need of 2 additional arts and crafts volunteers for one or two Thursday afternoons per month. To qualify, applicants must: 1) submit a volunteer application, including 2 recommendations from non-family members (available on our website, or we can email it to you); 2) pass a background check; and 3) complete a 4-hour volunteer training.

For these two days, we are scheduling volunteers in 1-hour shifts from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. You may choose to do more than an hour, but 1 hour is the minimum. Due to limited space in our House, each hour shift may only have up to 10 volunteers.

We need volunteers April 12th–14th.

This year, Sport a Shirts will be sold at various hospital locations. We need help with booth set-up, staffing, closing, and restocking. Hours range from 10:30am to 4:00pm.

Volunteer to work on Sport a Shirt Pick-Up Day at RMH

We need volunteers from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm on April 8th .

Groups who purchase Sport a Shirts will stop by the house to pick up their orders. We need help with refreshments, retrieving orders and greeting guests.
