Give the gift of time

Volunteers are the backbone of Ronald McDonald House South Island and we simply couldn’t provide our services without them. If you have time to generously give, we can always use your help. Our volunteers tell us that gifting their time is hugely rewarding.

We need superstar collectors! 

The Ronald McDonald House Family Appeal is hitting the streets of the South Island on Friday, May 10. We will be looking for superstar collectors from across the South Island to raise funds to provide free accommodation and support for families who must travel to Christchurch and Invercargill for their child’s medical treatment.

We need:

  • Corporates or Schools to take responsibly of a site for the day.
  • Individuals to gift an hour or two of their time.
  • Click here to sign up!

Gay and Robyn our ‘Tuesday Chicks’ are a huge part of the Ronald McDonald House South Island family. From wrapping presents for newborn babies, collecting for the Annual Appeal to lending an ear or shoulder to cry on, these ladies go above and beyond. “We love volunteering here,” says Robyn. “Not only do you feel like you’re making a difference, but we feel part of the team.”

Our volunteers are part of our family and so we make sure each and every one is giving their time in the most valuable way by providing lots of ways to help, including:

  • Administration and Fundraising support
  • Housekeeping
  • Baking
  • Event volunteering and support
