Hospitality Cart Volunteer (based at Lyell McEwin Hospital) **

The Ronald McDonald Hospitality Cart provides additional care and support to bedside families and children in women's and children's wards of the Lyell McEwin Hospital. 

Volunteers work in a team of two to restock supplies in the Cart and operate the Cart throughout the hospital wards to deliver children's activities, toiletries and refreshments free of charge. By delivering the cart on the wards, we help families rejuvenate so they feel refreshed and can better support their child while in hospital. Volunteers play an important role as understanding and compassionate listeners, providing mature, warm, open and gentle interactions with families during times of loneliness and stress in hospital. Volunteers in this program will also become great ambassadors for RMHC
