Ronald McDonald House

McDonald's is known for their Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).  If you watch much TV at all, then you have probably seen the McDonald's ads for "Hope" and "Happy Meals."  McDonald's will make a one cent donation to RMHC for each Happy Meal or Mighty Kids Meal that is purchased throughout the year.

While one cent may not sound like a lot, I can only imagine the number of Happy Meals that McDonald's sells in a year.  I have a feeling the one-cent donation will be considerable.

My family has personal experience with RMHC and only sings its' praises.  I have triplet nieces that were premature and had a long stay in the hospital.  Their parents were able to stay at a Ronald McDonald House next to the hospital in order to be close by their children without enduring large expenses.  I am happy to say the girls are now 10 years old and as happy and healthy as can be.  RMHC has definitely provided for a lot of families needs.

STOCK PRICE UPDATE: 

MCD closed today at $79.01 down $0.51 (or 0.64%).

  1. My two year old niece had to have emergency surgery as soon as she was born. She was in NICU and UK Medical Center for 42 days! If it wasn't for the Ronald McDonald House my sister and brother in law wouldn't have made it! I am very thankful for that organization!!
