Our McDonald's Relationship
McDonald's Corporation, Customers, and Vendors
While McDonald's the corporation is a partner in care, Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest is neither owned nor fully funded by McDonald's. Local McDonald's owner/operators and their customers provide 14% of RMHC of the Southwest’s operating budget. Several owner/operators and McDonald's corporate employees volunteer as members of our Board or serve as guest services or meal volunteers.
McDonald's customers show their support by donating change in the restaurant donation canisters. Additionally, McDonald’s supports the RMHC Global organization which provides training, support and matching funds for our local grant making efforts. McDonald's suppliers, such as Coca-Cola are also donors to the RMHC of the Southwest Chapter.
