Big love to our wonderful Family Activities volunteers! You bring joy, creativity, and a sense of normalcy to families going through incredibly tough times.

We traveled "Around the World with Appreciation" at this year's Volunteer Appreciation Event! We love having the opportunity to gather together and celebrate the countless ways our volunteers show up for families going through difficult times. We are so lucky to have such compassionate, talented volunteers as part of our team. Thank you to Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia for hosting this amazing event, and to our presenting sponsor, Jazz Pharmaceuticals .

Today we want to shout out our incredible Front Desk volunteers! You greet every guest with a smile, lend a helping hand, and set the tone for the warm, welcoming environment we strive for at RMHC Philly. We’re so grateful for your kindness and commitment—not just during Volunteer Appreciation Month, but all year long. 💙 Our Front Desk staff has a few words to share about just how much you mean to them—we couldn’t do it without you!

To all of our incredible Family Room volunteers: THANK YOU!  Your time, care, and kindness make a world of difference for families navigating some of their hardest days. Here’s a special message from our Family Room staff to celebrate Volunteer Appreciation month! Stay tuned for messages from other departments here at RMHC Philly! 

Since 2009, the Amos family has traveled to Philadelphia for their daughter’s medical treatment. 💛 During their most recent visit, they spent 19 nights at RMHC Philly — finding not just a place to stay, but a community that truly cares. Hear from Lori as she shares what the House has meant to her family over the years.

There’s only one week left to apply for the Kim Hill Scholarship! This opportunity is open to high school seniors who have had childhood cancer. Lily, a 2024 scholarship recipient, is now thriving in college, studying to become a special education teacher. The scholarship gave her family peace of mind that college was within reach. "Applying for the scholarship is one step in the right direction when thinking about your future," says Lily. Find the application here: https://lnkd.in/eTxyKsPn

“Volunteering is fun and it’s a team effort. The staff offer great support and training! I enjoy providing any help I can to help these families and their children.” – Michael Leshner For the past two years, Michael has given his time and heart to RMHC Philly—as a friendly face in the kitchen, a reliable van driver, and a counselor at Ronald McDonald Camp.  Thank you, Michael, for being part of our community and showing what it means to lead with care.

“Ever since I started volunteering, I’m really grateful to have found a community like no other.” – Joanna Kim For the past year, Joanna has been a friendly face at the front desk of our Chestnut Street House, welcoming families with warmth and kindness. She first discovered RMHC Philly through a friend’s referral while attending school nearby, and we’re so grateful she did! This Volunteer Appreciation Month, we celebrate Joanna and all our incredible volunteers who make our House feel like home!
