25 years later, there are now over 200 Ronald McDonald Houses in 20 countries.
RMHC's global office provides each House seed, expansion and emergency grants, as well as in-kind goods and services. However, each House relies on the people and businesses in its own community to provide additional funds, goods and services necessary for operations.
McDonald's restaurants play an important role by providing assistance with the campaign to build the House initially and offering their stores as a vehicle for additional fundraising, They are not the sole financial provider to the charity however. It is through community donations, corporate support (including McDonald's) and volunteers that Ronald McDonald House Charities are able to lift children and their families to a better tomorrow.
