Janet Hanscom, Director of House Operations
Come join our community of friendly volunteers! We are currently recruiting volunteers to fill a variety of positions. There are many ways in which you can contribute any amount of time, talent and treasures to make a difference in the lives of the families we serve. The rewards last a lifetime! Just see what our volunteers and guests say about the Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut.
Types of Volunteer Opportunities:
- House & Office Support: regular shifts spent at the House to answer phones, register guests, database input, record donations, take hospital referrals and more.
- Fund Raising Events: support the Committee Chairperson through marketing and preparation before, during and after the event.
- Cooking for Our Guest Families: If your club, organization, faith based group wants to do an outreach project, preparing a meal for our guests to enjoy is always appreciated.
- Community Services: You or your business may be able to provide specialized services for the House. Whether you are a gardener, painter, or general fix-it handyman, we can always use an extra pair of hands.

Enclosed please find two hand-crocheted blankets and a package of hand made jewelry. The blankets were made by me as a donation to children who may want (or need) a little feeling of “home” during their stay. The jewelry was made by a friend of mine in Georgia. The jewelry is intended for little girls who may have lost their hair during treatments and need a little something to make them feel “girlie” again.
