From the moment the doors opened at the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, the McDonald’s System of owner/operators, suppliers, employees and customers have called our mission their own. For more than 40 years McDonald’s has opened its hearts to us. Providing an invaluable partnership, McDonald’s has supported us every step of the way, fueling our growth from the original House to a multi-national network of family-centered programs serving more than 7 million children and families annually.
