Please Note

  • All volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and also complete an application.
  • Tours must be scheduled in advance, and are not guaranteed for volunteers—especially for same-day requests.

Individuals are welcome to provide purchased or catered meals, snacks, treats, and nonperishable food items for our families.

If you’d like to prepare something yourself, we’d love to welcome you into our kitchen!

All homemade meals and treats must be prepared onsite and scheduled in advance.

More than 1,300 volunteers give a helping hand to provide comfort for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House San Antonio every year.

Volunteering as a Family or with Youth

We love welcoming families and young people who want to give back together!

A few things to keep in mind:

  • There is no minimum age, but all children, including toddlers, count toward your group’s volunteer capacity.
  • Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or school staff member. An 18-year-old student cannot supervise younger students.
  • Volunteers 18 and older may serve independently.
  • During your visit, volunteers should participate in the planned activity and remain within designated volunteer areas.
  • We know our play spaces can be tempting for little helpers! To keep them clean and ready for the children staying with us, playrooms and playgrounds are reserved for guest families.
