Volunteer: Snack Bag Program - East River Road Pediatric Hospitality CartSupport the Pediatric Hospitality Cart at East River Road Pediatrics Snack bag donations will help us launch and maintain a stationary hospitality cart for families visiting the Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, Pediatric Behavioral Health and Wellness, and Pediatric Neurology clinics at UR Medicine. This cart will offer free snack bags to children and their caregivers during clinic visits—providing comfort and relief during what can be long and stressful days. East River Road Pediatrics sees approximately 30,000 visits each year, with many families traveling 30 miles or more to attend appointments. For these families, a simple, nutritious snack can offer a moment of ease and care. To bring this program to life, we’re seeking 52 volunteer groups or individuals—one for each week of the year—to commit to donating 500 pre-packaged snack bags, just once, for a designated week in 2026. Engage your family, corporate team, or service group to gather snacks, assemble the packs, and deliver them to our House to be available for our team to bring to East River Road! Each snack bag costs only $1.41 to assemble, but the impact is priceless. Just one snack bag can brighten a child’s day, ease a caregiver’s stress, and support a positive clinic experience. With your support, we will be able to operate the Pediatric Hospitality Cart Monday through Friday, four hours a day, providing consistent care and nourishment to families all year long. We can’t do it without you. Will you help us make a difference—one snack bag at a time?

Volunteer: Cater A Meal - Opportunity to Support Families at the House Within the HospitalRonald McDonald House Charities of Rochester is seeking caring community partners to provide one dinner per month for families staying at our House Within the Hospital, located inside Strong Memorial Hospital.
