RMHC Receives More Than $163,000 From McDonald’s

Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Mobile announced it recently received $163,764 in contributions from McDonald’s restaurants from throughout South Alabama and the Mississippi Coast. Paul Giardina, executive director of RMHC of Mobile, said, “Through programs such as ‘Round-Up,’ ‘Penny per Happy Meal’ and other in-store promotions, they continue to help keep families near each other while their child receives life-saving medical care in one of the area hospitals. Our local McDonald’s owners expect their contributions to be greater in 2023 thanks to the enthusiasm of their managers and crew members around the ‘Round-Up’ program and the many customers who generously round up their totals. Like the founders of the first Ronald McDonald House, who believed that no child should face the weight of illness alone, our owners enthusiastically support our house and the nearly 700 families we serve every year.”
