McDonald’s owner/operators and employees are incredible supporters of Ronald McDonald House Eastern North Carolina, but they don’t fund everything. Through Round-Up, in-restaurant promotions, and store fundraisers, McDonald’s provides approximately 20% of our operating budget.
The remaining funding comes from generous community members, businesses, foundations, special events, and other partners. Because we serve pediatric families from more than 50 counties across Eastern North Carolina, community support is essential to helping us provide a welcoming place for families to stay close to their children during medical care.
We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our McDonald’s partners and our entire community!
