Our Relationship with McDonald's...

Since the first House opened in Philadelphia in 1974, Ronald McDonald House Charities has been blessed to be the “charity of choice” for local McDonald’s Owner/Operators who support our mission.  Individual Owner/Operators from the Mobile-Pensacola Co-Op were the first to give to our Capital Campaign by pledging $500,000 to help build our new home-away-from-home.  The Greater Northwest Florida Co-Op was quick to follow suit when individual Owner/Operators pledged an additional $100,000 to the campaign.  We are extremely grateful for their continued support.  Yet McDonald’s involvement extends beyond these monetary pledges of support:

• Franchises partner with the House for promotional and   fundraising events

• McDonald’s employees are dedicated volunteers

• In-restaurant sales of USA Today are all donated to RMHC

• Restaurant customers are encouraged to drop change in the donation canisters located on the counter and in the drive- thru of McDonald’s restaurants across the panhandle

Although McDonald’s is our largest corporate donor, no company can solely fund the growth of Ronald McDonald House Charities in our mission to provide a home-away-from-home for families.  Our House was founded on the principle of the community coming together to make the mission a reality, and it requires a great deal of resources to do what we do.  We need the support of the entire community and greatly value any support you can afford to RMHC, whether it’s through cash donations, your time, or fundraising efforts.
