What is the involvement of McDonalds Restaurants in Ronald McDonald House Charities?
A. The Miami Valley McDonald’s Co-Op has been supportive of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) since the organization’s inception in 1980. Today, local McDonald’s owners and operators are still very supportive as board members and committee members. Through this partnership, McDonald’s generously conducts a variety of fundraisers benefiting RMHC at their restaurants, such as their annual Give-a-Hand sales, by donating portions of product sales at certain times of the year, in-restaurant newspaper sales, and via counter and drive-thru donation boxes. This culmination of fundraising activities accounts for approximately 10% – 14% of RMHC’s annual organizational revenue.
