The Ronald McDonald House of Dallas serves as a home away from home for sick kids needing medical treatment, but now, it’s finding itself in unfamiliar territory - desperately needing volunteers to step up.
Ronald McDonald House of Dallas CEO Jill Cumnock said occupancy is up 75% percent since the pandemic started, and the Ronald McDonald House is now serving over sixty families.
She thinks one thing keeping volunteers away is the strict vaccine and mask requirements in place to keep kids and their families protected. Volunteers are crucial to the house’s mission. They host activities for kids and families, help with special events, and help cook hot meals.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
