On September 9, 2010, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is encouraging its supporters to drop spare change in RMHC Donation Boxes located on counters and in the drive-thrus of participating McDonald’s restaurants.
Over the years small change has allowed RMHC to grow to serve more children and families in need. In 2009 alone, thanks to McDonald’s customers, RMHC raised more than $19 million through the U.S. Donation Box program. It’s an easy and secure way to donate, and the money raised helps children in your community. The RMHC Day of Change is a great opportunity to show kids the importance of giving back and how even the smallest gesture goes a long way to helping those in need. So get your family and friends involved, because when everyone helps, we can make a big difference.
