Volunteer

Volunteers at the House help welcome families and visitors when they enter the House, as well as help keep the House neat and tidy. In addition to answering and directing phone calls, accepting donations, and conducting guest family check-ins and check-outs, volunteers at the House also help to keep the kitchens clean in addition to prepping or heating up meals for guests when necessary. Volunteer roles may vary from day to day and different tasks may be asked of you from time to time based on what is needed.

Every year we host two annual fundraising events – the RMHC of CNY Golf Invitational and the Many Hearts One Home Celebration – and we’re always looking for some extra helping hands. For those who have a desire to help, but on a limited basis, this is the volunteer role for you.

We are also recruiting new members for our volunteer event committees. The committee members help increase event revenue through new ticket sales and foursomes, recruiting new major sponsors, and selling ad space in our MHOH event program. If they are not comfortable making the ask themselves, opening the door for the Development Staff to have that conversation is just as helpful. Committee members are asked to help solicit items for our MHOH auction and either attend or volunteer at the events. The committees meet monthly, still virtually for now.  Additional meetings may occur if needed, as we get closer to the events.

If you are interested or would like to discuss further, please contact Alexis Richer at aricher@rmhcny.org or (315) 476-1027.
