Volunteers are the Heart of our House

The Ronald McDonald House of Western Michigan recognizes our volunteers accomplishments. Our volunteers are truly the "Heart of our House" as they make up guest rooms, fold laundry, sort donations, make dinners, greet guests, shuttle guests and so much more. Our volunteers make our House truly a Home. Thank you WMRMH volunteers!
