Help paint or provide light carpentry and maintenance services
Whether it is a 10-bedroom or 100-bedroom Ronald McDonald House, you can imagine how many maintenance projects come up. Don Freed is a dedicated volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since 1995, Don has given more than 16,000 hours of volunteer service to the Ronald McDonald House - he averages 32 hours a week! Don is committed to doing his part to help provide comfort, hope and a ‘home away from home' to families during a very difficult time. He assists in maintenance tasks, makes coffee, cleans, gardens and much more. On cold winter mornings, Don is often outside the House before guests wake. He wants to make sure the walks and parking lots are cleared as families make their way to the hospital. If you'd like to use your skills to help Ronald McDonald House Charities, contact your local RMHC Chapter or search VolunteerMatch to sign up for volunteer opportunities in your area.
