Making a difference,
one family at a time.

Since McDonald’s helped open the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, we’ve been a part of helping millions of parents stay by their sick child’s side, where they’re needed most. In fact, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is our Charity of Choice, making sure hope always has a home. But, we can’t do it without your help.

There are many ways for you to get involved. Donate now to RMHC by clicking on the button below or drop your spare change in the RMHC Donation Box at your local participating McDonald’s restaurant. Also, a penny from each Happy Meal and Mighty Kid’s Meal that you buy at participating locations in the U.S. supports RMHC and its family-centered programs. Together, we can make a difference.

Home Away from Home

Find out how RMHC helps provide a home-away-from-home near a hospital for families that need a place to stay while their child receives medical treatment.

A Place To Rest

The Ronald McDonald Family Room program provides families with a comfortable place to rest inside the hospital where their child is staying.

Helping Children In Need

The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program offers essential medical, dental and educational services to more than 154,000 children annually around the world.

McHappy Day

McHappy Day is McDonald’s global fundraiser benefiting RMHC and other children’s causes around the world. The fundraiser is just one more way McDonald’s, its employees, Owner/Operators, suppliers, and customers demonstrate how small contributions can add up to make a huge difference in the lives of children.

Give A Hand

In the United States, Give A Hand is an annual national fundraiser where customers may make a donation of $1, $3 or $5 directly to RMHC by purchasing a paper hand in the restaurant or drive-thru during November at participating locations.
