Welcome to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts!
Imagine a world in which all children were loved and not a single child was disadvantaged, ill, abused, disabled, or homeless. It’s the kind of world we all dream about. Through our initiatives and programs, we are working to make that vision a reality.
"Fill Ronald McDonald's Shoes" Fundraiser
McDonald’s restaurants in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts are teaming with customers to raise money for our RMHC chapter!
From August 1-15, local participating restaurants are selling paper cut-outs shaped like Ronald McDonald’s big red shoe for $1. Customers write their name on the paper, which is hung in the restaurant during the two-week fundraiser.
All money raised through the program is donated to RMHC of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts so that we can continue supporting children throughout the area.
How the Chapter Can Help You
We award grants to local non-profit organizations that help children. We distribute funds for education, health care and medical research, and civil and social services.
How You Can Help the Chapter
We receive funding from fundraisers, change dropped in McDonald’s in-store donation boxes, portions of Happy Meal® sales, and generous individual donations.
