Ronald McDonald House Charities® of New England & McDonalds

Helping Families Stay Together. A Labor of Love Since 1974.

Ronald McDonald House Charities is at the heart of McDonald’s, and we share a mutual commitment to give back to the communities we serve. As McDonald’s Charity of Choice for nearly 50 years, McDonald’s proudly helps RMHC impact the lives of 7 million children and their families around the world each year.

We are fortunate to have McDonald’s as our founding and forever Mission Partner. Since 1974, when the first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia, PA, McDonald’s Owner/Operators, suppliers, employees and customers have helped RMHC provide stability and vital resources to families around the world.

Our local McDonald’s Owner/Operators are individual business owners who believe in our Mission and continue to support RMHCNE everyday at their restaurants, through personal gifts and by volunteering their time within our programs. Although McDonald’s is our largest corporate partner, we rely on the support of our entire community to raise the funds needed to accomplish our important mission. We greatly value donations from our community and other corporate partners.

Here are some of the ways in which McDonald’s gives to RMHC:

  • Give a Hand National Fundraiser in November and local Ronald Shoe Fundraiser in May
  • Restaurants donate a portion from every Happy Meal and Mighty Kids Meal purchase to support RMHC programs and services
  • Provides space for the RMHC donation canister boxes inside all of the restaurants and most of the drive-thru windows
  • Participate in local chapter fundraisers and activities
  • Volunteers personal time to RMHC Core Programs
