RMHS Dayton is a recognized 501 (c)(3) nonprofit that serves families of children with complex and life-changing medical diagnoses and injuries. We are committed to keeping families close to the medical care they need, the comforts of home they crave, and the family members they could not go through their healthcare journey without.

The Ronald McDonald House on Valley Street provides a home away from home with 14 private guest rooms at no cost to guests. We provide home-cooked meals, on-site laundry, family programming, and play spaces, among other amenities.

The Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at Dayton Children's Hospital and inside Emmett's Place at the Miami Valley Hospital provides a space for familes to rest and regroup without leaving the hospital.

St. Vincent de Paul is the most essential part of our community’s safety net for the homeless and impoverished: we stand between them and almost unimaginable consequences. And we stand behind them as they struggle to reclaim their lives. Without our work – and our respect, dedication, compassion, and effectiveness – thousands of lives would be impacted; many would be lost.

St. Vincent de Paul is a faith-based non-profit serving the Greater Dayton Area. We aid the homeless and impoverished by providing emergency shelter, transitional and permanent supportive housing, food, clothing, and household items, and guidance to lead a self-sustaining life. 

Contact Christine Grote, Volunteers Manager, at 937-951-8244 to be added to the volunteer roster. Park in the main parking lot at the address listed for each day and enter through the main entrance where you will go through security. Tell the front desk you are there to volunteer and you are to meet, Christine Grote. The front desk will guide you from there.

Dress - You are encouraged to wear Sinclair gear, closed-toe shoes and long pants.
