Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child. They shouldn’t have to worry about where they’ll get their next meal or where they will sleep that night. Our volunteers remove the stress of everyday life by keeping our Houses beautiful, our kitchens full and our families well cared for. Volunteering with us is an enriching experience not only for our volunteers, but for the thousands of families who walk through our doors.
Our volunteer program offers many one-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities at Ronald McDonald House locations and our Ronald McDonald Family Room programs. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please complete a volunteer application to start the process.

There are many ways to support RMHC-NM through your everyday activities. Take a look at below for ideas
Collect Pop Tabs at home, work, school, or in your community, then drop the tabs off at Ronald McDonald House, and we’ll be happy to recycle them for you. If you live out of town, you may also recycle the tabs yourself and donate the proceeds to the House.
Please note: many manufacturers of soup, pet food, etc., are now using steel cans with pull tabs. The steel tabs are not a part of this recycling program – only aluminum tabs. Not sure how to tell? Steel tabs stick to a magnet, but aluminum tabs will not.
Collect Pop Tabs in any easy-to-empty container – zip lock bags or coffee cans work well, but not milk or juice jugs. RMHC Pop Tab Collection Houses are also available.
THANK YOU to all the schools that have participated in our Pop Tab Collection Contest over the years. RMHC-NM is no longer sponsoring a school contest, but you can still help support our families by collecting aluminum tabs and bringing them to the Yale House at 1011 Yale Blvd NE or by taking them directly to Rudy’s Recycling at 1224 2nd Street, NW, Albuquerque. (Rudy will donate the funds from your donation directly to RMHC-NM.)
Every time you visit McDonald’s, you can support RMHC-NM programs by choosing to: Round-Up for RMHC when you place your order on the kiosk or asking the crew to Round-Up your order to the nearest dollar, by selecting a fixed donation to RMHC-NM in the McDonald’s Mobile App or you can drop spare change in any of the RMHC Donation Boxes in restaurants or drive-thru.
RMHC of New Mexico is fortunate to be part of a vibrant community of individuals, schools, businesses and groups interested in hosting fundraisers throughout the year. The funds raised help provide the necessary services and support for families who turn to us for a “home-away-from-home.” For more information, call 505-842-8960 or email contactus@rmhc-nm.org
