Become a Virtual Volunteer

Make a difference in the families who walk through our doors

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ronald McDonald House New Orleans is temporarily restructuring our Volunteer Program so that we can continue to keep our families, volunteers, and staff safe during these uncertain times. The following are Virtual Volunteer Opportunities that all volunteers are welcome to participate in either individually or with a group. For more information, questions and drop offs, please contact our Family Services and Programs Manager at robin.alexander@rmhc-sla.org

Social Media

Help promote Round-Up for RMHC! (Every time someone visits a local McDonald’s restaurant, they can help support our families by asking to Round-Up for RMHC when they place their order on the kiosk or with a crew member at the counter or drive-thru.)

Post three Round-Up promotional photos on your personal social media platforms. 1 Volunteer Hour

Please email our Community Engagement Manager at jodi.lafranca@rmhc-sla.org for Round-Up photos and captions.

Laundry Kits

Donate 15 laundry kits: two detergent pods, two dryer sheets in each kit.
