Family Room Volunteer

Ronald McDonald Family Room programs are a vital resource for families with hospitalized children. They provide caregivers with a place to cook meals, grab a quick and free snack or coffee, an area to do laundry, and a comforting reprieve from the environment of the hospital, all while staying just steps away from their child’s hospital bed. These rooms can become an essential space for parents who feel uncomfortable leaving their child alone in the hospital.

 We are currently looking for volunteers in the Bangor Area to help in our Family Room at Nothern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center located on the Pediatric floor.

This position includes duties such as:

• Volunteer training with the hospital to gain access to the Pediatric Floor
• Collecting items from the House to bring over and restock. As well as alerting House staff as items run low.
  • Items can include: Snacks, Laundry Detergent, ect
• Organizing and cleaning out refrigerators, freezers and cupboards
• Assist with any planned activities or projects as assigned (i.e. crafts, movie night, updating files, etc.)
• Keeping the room tidy and organized
