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!

You may want to research other thrifts in the area. This location also does financial assistance. The phone calls are only taken on Mondays at 8:30 a.m. They only help with rent that is only a month over due, Dominion Energy, gas and oil. They help with wood during winter months. 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. If applying for DE (Dominion Energy) or gas financial assistants please have the account number ready to give to receptionist when you call it makes the process smoother.

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.

I heard about it from a friend, but a lot of people (especially the people who are new to bikes) don't know it exists so I hope my review helps. They're fairly new to their current location and are still tidying up. The hours are listed on their website, but as of right now their walk-ins are Sunday 12-5, Tuesday 5-9, and WTF Thursday 5-8. There's also special events like bike-in movie nights and flea markets. When you come in you get access to their tools and boxes of parts, and a friendly volunteer will help you fix your bike. They ask for $5/hour donation for use of their space which is more than fair. I went to their WTF (women, trans, femme) night last week not knowing anything about bikes and in an hour I learned how to replace a handlebar and move my brake levers. They even gave me the handlebars. If you are a poor bike owner in need or just want to get to know your bike better, Rag & Bones is your destination. PS: Google maps gave me the wrong spot so when you're walking down Leigh Street with Ardent on your left, it's a little door a half block down.

Each day they host about 150 people from around the world. The Doorways relies heavily on donations and volunteers. Their are plenty of volunteer opportunities and my friends and I chose to provide and serve a meal. Their front desk staff was super informative and very welcoming. Their kitchen was huge and provided everything we needed to make dinner for the guest. We chose to do burgers; turkey burgers; green beans; baked beans; assorted chips and fresh salad. We did need to bring all of the food to be cooked and any additional or specialty seasoning we wanted to use. The kitchen had 4 of everything (stove, fridge, microwave, etc.) after preparing the meal you serve dinner to the residents around 6:30pm. Now cooking with my friends was so much fun but the highlight was definitely meeting the residents. All walks of life and just thankful for another day. This was such an rewarding feeling and we met some amazing guest. Mr Bryan, a resident there kept us laughing with his great spirit and personality. If you are looking for an opportunity to volunteer in Richmond Va I would highly suggest spending some time at The Doorways! I'm looking forward to returning.
