$50 million for 50 years of mission impact! THANK YOU to McDonald's customers from across the U.S. for your generous donations to RMHC through the Round-Up for RMHC program this year.    The average Round-Up for RMHC donation is just 43 cents, proving that a little can go a long way to support families when they need it most. Because of your generosity and support (and that of your local McDonald’s operator!), you help us save families $736 million in lodging and meal costs each year. On behalf of our system and the families we serve, thank you!
