Ronald McDonald House of New England & McDonald's

We are fortunate to have McDonald’s as our founding and forever Mission Partner. Since 1974, when the first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia, PA. McDonald’s Owner/Operators, suppliers, employees and customers have helped Ronald McDonald House provide stability and vital resources to families around the world.

Helping families stay together since 1974.

The partnership between McDonald’s and Ronald McDonald House New England is historic, incredible and a cherished piece of both of our organization’s combined history.

Our local McDonald’s Owner/Operators are individual business owners who believe in our Mission and continue to support Ronald McDonald House New England every day at their restaurants, through personal gifts and by volunteering their time within our programs. 

Although McDonald’s is our largest corporate partner, we rely on the support of our entire community to raise the funds needed to accomplish our important mission. We greatly value donations from our community and other corporate partners.
