Impact

As a volunteer at our Ronald McDonald House in Corpus Christi or Ronald McDonald Family Room programs in the Rio Grande Valley, you can make a direct and immediate impact on children and families in their moment of greatest need.

Open Roles

We need volunteers with a passion for our mission and the flexibility to help with wide-ranging tasks to keep things running smoothly at our Ronald McDonald House and Family Rooms.
We have three locations for volunteer opportunities!

  •  Regular individual duties often entail front-desk operations, answering phones, light housekeeping, sorting donation drives, and organizing wish-list inventories.
  • Groups or individuals can sign up to prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner for the families. Meals must generally be cooked entirely on-site in the House kitchen or prepared in a certified commercial kitchen.

Guidelines

  • All independent adult volunteers will be subject to background screenings.
  • All volunteers must be free of contagious symptoms (cold, flu, or fever) on their day of service.

Round Up at McDonald’s

When you round up your McDonald’s purchase in Corpus Christi, 100% of the rounded-up change goes directly to Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Texas to support housing, meals, and other services for families with children receiving medical care.

  • You can choose to round up your total to the nearest whole dollar at the drive-thru, front counter, self-order kiosk, or through the McDonald’s mobile app.
  • In the mobile app, you can also select a fixed donation amount of $1, $3, or $5 in addition to rounding up.

Building Our Future

Our House is built on love. But our House is full—and too often, we have to turn families away. To meet this urgent need, we are building a new Ronald McDonald House, nearly doubling our capacity from the current 25 rooms in our temporary location to 48 in the new house, so every family can stay close to their child.

While our address has temporarily changed, our mission remains the same: providing comfort, care, and support for families with hospitalized children, ensuring they have a place to stay close to the medical facility. Every dollar donated brings us closer to opening a new, expanded House that will serve even more families for generations to come.

Pantry Partners

RMHC of South Texas is grateful for our many community partners who help us maintain a stocked pantry for use by as many as 25 families at a time while they are staying with us. Our Pantry inventory includes fresh produce, essential food items and snacks, including healthy grab-and-go options while families travel to and from local medical appointments.

Details: Pantry Partner sponsorships are $2,500 per adopted month.

Share-A-Night

The high cost of medical care is a burden our families face, oftentimes not knowing how long their battle will last. Our Share-A-Night program funds help to provide lodging, transportation, meals, and more for our families. Every donation helps a family stay close to their critically ill child and close to the medical care they need.

Share your love and support by donating to our Share-A-Night program.
