They do a lot of great work, lots of stuff I don't even know about I'm sure. Just to cover some of the basics though - they do homework tutoring for children every school day, have children's classes and programs pretty much every day, have a sliding scale Montessori preschool, have classes for adults including GED training and recreational things like dance and yoga, a recording studio, an organic garden, a farm stand, a coffee bar serving Tall Bike Coffee from Lamplighter, a kitchen with vegan cooking classes, a computer lab, a satellite center for homework tutoring in a nearby apartment complex, they do a 5k/10k Hill Run every October, assist people in finding jobs, and that's just scratching the surface. They are always adding new facilities and programs. Very inspiring little place created by residents of Fulton Hill for residents of Fulton Hill.

The organization partners with…read morenon-profits in the area and people looking to volunteer and helps match volunteers with organizations and opportunities. They have pretty much any type of project that you can imagine. You can be an ongoing volunteer on one specific project or you can volunteer on just one day. Each year they host Hands On RVA Day which is Richmond's largest non-profit day of service with tons of projects going on all around the city. I first participated in this a year ago and this is what made me fall in love with this organization. They have a passionate group of employees that inspire you to volunteer and and are very experienced and organized. My favorite project that they offer are the DIY projects that they post every month. This allows you to collect items and make something for a nonprofit that they need. For instance this month, the project is to make zip lock bags of toiletry items to donate to a non-profit in the area that works with the homeless. My friends and I gathered the supplies and assembled these kits in under an hour. If you haven't had a chance, create a profile on Hands On's website and figure out a way to get involved.

Luckily RMHR had some open space and we were allowed to stay during the duration of our little guys recovery. The staff is very friendly and the facilities very clean. They help families here by providing meals and a caring environment . The house rules are reasonable and common sense - no alcohol, no visiting guests during Covid , clean up after yourself, be respectful to other guest during quiet hours, etc. The house is a big help to us as our little guy's hospital stay will likely put a ding in our wallets. Their charity will greatly help us out financially since we don't have to get a hotel on our own. They recommend but don't require a suggested $15/night donation to the charity which I feel is more than fair. Thank you, Ronald McDonald House Richmond!

Very caring and strong community. Encourages you to build your own network in recovery. While the groups are generally structured in during their Intensive program, I still found benefit from them while in the Sober Living program before I found employment. They focus on critical aspects outside of general addiction education, such as the mind, body, communication, and so on. Their programs garner an environment where one can go about their individual journeys while also having a safe and comfortable home, free from any substances. The center also hosts many meetings for various pathways including NA, AA, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, and more. I have never had a problem with the staff. Always very helpful and kind. Same goes for the house leaders they appoint to their recovery residences.

There is a high volume of calls so you have to remain patient. Dial 0 to get directly to operator because it will incorrectly tell you to dial a 1 or some other number.
