Kindness starts small - and every act counts!
Print out this Fall Kindness List and hang it where your family can see it.
Together, check off each act of kindness — whether it’s baking muffins for a neighbor, leaving a thank-you note, or volunteering in your community.

Literacy Lubbock is seeking a volunteer with experience or an interest in grant writing to assist us in securing funding for our programs. As you are aware, our mission is to empower adults and families through literacy education, and grant support is crucial to maintaining the free and accessible nature of these programs for our community.

We need volunteers to help with light household cleaning, organizing closets, separating donations, putting them away, and much more.  This is a great individual or group opportunity for volunteers of all ages. 

Ronald McDonald Family Rooms: (Individuals or Pairs)

Family Rooms are mini–Ronald McDonald Houses and offer all families (local and out-of-town) the opportunity to take a break from the stressful hospital environment.  Families are encouraged to come to the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms and enjoy a warm, comfortable setting where they can relax and get something to eat or drink.  Volunteers are required to commit to a regular volunteer schedule and incur additional training.  This opportunity does require the volunteer to step up.  Our Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are staffed 100% by our volunteers.  When a shift is not covered, then we are forced to close the doors, thus denying families the services we provide.

Handy Person: (Individual or Group)

Are you a Mr. or Ms. Fix-it?  Then we need you!  Volunteers are asked to do light house maintenance.  This could be anything from changing lightbulbs to fixing a loose cabinet hinge. This can be on-call or prescheduled maintenance as needed.

Office Assistant: (Individual or Pairs)

These volunteers can commit to a scheduled or on-call service.  Some of the duties of a receptionist are to answer phones, open the door, do light housekeeping when needed, and inventory rooms of families checking out of the Ronald McDonald House. Depending on the volunteer’s interests and the needs of the Ronald McDonald House, other duties will also be requested of these volunteers.

Baking Buddies: (Individual or Group)

If you love to bake, we would love to have you use your talents in our kitchen!  There is nothing more “home-like” than the smell of freshly baked cookies.  This is a wonderful and fun way to incorporate children into the volunteer experience.

Guest Chef: (Individual or Group)

Guest Chefs help to feed the families at the Ronald McDonald House.  Schedule the meal, and bring the ingredients to our beautiful, warm kitchen, and cook the dinner together as a group!  We have four ovens, two cooktops, two microwaves, and lots of pots and pans to make cooking a snap!

Freezer Friends: (Individual or Group)

Freezer Friends help to fill our casserole freezer to feed our families when we do not have a guest chef provided.  Bring the ingredients and schedule a time to prepare the casseroles in our beautiful kitchen – or simply donate a store-bought casserole!

Donation Drivers: (Individual)

The Ronald McDonald House has vehicles that are used for transporting families to/from the hospital, going to pick up supplies, taking families for scheduled trips to Wal-Mart or a grocery store, etc. Drivers sign up for scheduled shifts and/or let us know when they are available for on-call needs to serve as a substitute for the scheduled driver.  You must be 21 years or older and have a good driving record.

Of course, you could primarily do mainly one of these jobs or sample all of them until you find what makes you happiest.  If you don’t see a job that appeals to your desires, then talk to the Programs Coordinator so we can find something that best utilizes your talents. [ emma@rmhcsouthwest ]

Volunteer drivers, both regular and substitute, are needed each weekday to deliver meals. You do not need to commit to a set schedule to volunteer for LMOW. Some drivers prefer to take the same route on the same day each week whereas others prefer to just substitute when needed. For many of our clients, the LMOW volunteer may be the only person they see during the day. That daily human contact is just as important as the nutritious meal they are receiving. Each route takes approximately 1 hour to deliver. Most routes have 10 – 16 clients. A background check and one hour orientation is required for all delivery volunteers.

If you would like to try us out first, we can pair you up with one of our volunteers for a ‘ride-along’.  Just give us a call at (806)792-7971.

Delivery volunteer opportunities are available from 10:45 am – Noon, Monday – Friday.  Non-delivery volunteer opportunities are available throughout the day Monday through Friday.

If you would like to volunteer, give us a call at 806-792-7971, or

Help foster a love of reading in preschoolers by volunteering with our Tiny Tots literacy program! Literacy Lubbock partners with Lubbock Early Learning Centers to read to young students. Storytime is crucial to a child's early literacy growth by boosting vocabulary, comprehension, and listening abilities. It also sparks imagination, creativity, and a passion for reading through engaging stories and interactive activities. Additionally, it helps develop social skills and lays the groundwork for future learning by exposing children to diverse perspectives and encouraging active participation. Volunteers are required to pass the Early Learning Centers background check.

Tiny Tots is a storytime event designed for children under age 5 and their parents. Every week, families receive one new book after it has been read aloud. The children enjoy singing songs and discussing the story. Tiny Tots is held at two locations—Groves Library and Godeke Library—every Wednesday from 12:30 to 1:30.

Storytime is a vital part of early childhood development. It plays a key role in nurturing language skills, imagination, creativity, and cognitive abilities by introducing children to new vocabulary, sentence structures, and narrative concepts. Additionally, it helps enhance listening skills and concentration as children actively engage with stories. Storytime lays a strong foundation for literacy and communication skills, which are crucial for future learning and success.
