Description
Event Type = Volunteer: You will be volunteering at this event
The Ronald McDonald House in Seattle provides more than 28,000 nights of housing a year for families with children receiving treatment at Seattle Children's Hospital. When a child is seriously ill, families’ lives are turned upside down. Life is put on hold; soccer games and ballet lessons take a back seat.Join us at TWIF HQ as we assemble welcome kits for families arriving at the Ronald McDonald House that contain a few essential supplies that will allow families staying at the house to focus on the health of their child.
This event is dedicated to the memory of Michele Messler who lost her battle to cancer in March of 2017.
Our Nonprofit Partner that this event supports: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western Washington & Alaska
Why you are needed: Nothing is more important than healing the sick child. Many families travel hundreds of miles and spend weeks or months getting treatment – a long time to be away from home. The Ronald McDonald House in Seattle is a “home-away-from-home” for families while their child undergoes treatment at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Age Requirement: 21+
Event Sherpa: TBD

Who can sign up for this event? Anyone is welcome to volunteer for our events. There’s no long term commitment and you’re welcome to sign up for just one event, or multiple events that fit your style. Once signed up, you’ll be kept in the loop on all event details and what to expect via email and text communication from our team.
Can I sign up my group? If you are interested in signing up 4 or more people for a volunteer event, we ask that you contact us instead of registering here.
Can I bring a friend? Of course, the more, the merrier…. but we do ask that your friend register for the event. Those not registered for the event will be turned away.
How do I find the group? TWIF HQ is located on the left side of 7551A (a hair salon). Our door is tucked back slightly from the street. You will see our logo and the letter "B" on our door. Come on in, we will meet you there.
What is a Sherpa? At every TWIF Volunteer event, you will find someone, called a Sherpa, that is trained to facilitate the group. They are your event host, if you will, and are there to help make sure you have a great experience.
What should I bring? A water bottle and a snack are never a bad idea. We will have cold beverages and a few snack available.

What is the cancellation policy? Space for our events is limited and we often have a waiting list of people that would like to attend. Once you register for the event we will hold a space just for you so we ask that if, for any reason, you cannot attend your scheduled shift, please make sure to cancel your registration so someone else can take your spot! You can cancel online or by reaching out to our volunteer coordination team.
Do you offer documentation? Upon request, we will gladly supply you with documentation for your volunteer hours for work or school purposes. We do NOT, however, provide court documentation. We do not believe that volunteering is a punishment and under no circumstances will we provide documentation for court-ordered community service.
