Ronald McDonald House Rochester is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. While we are not owned or operated by McDonald’s, McDonald’s Owner/Operators of Greater Rochester have been an important part of our history and continue to provide meaningful support for our mission.
McDonald’s Owner/Operators of Greater Rochester have been supporting Ronald McDonald House programs since 1990 when, in collaboration with the University of Rochester Medical Center and generous donors, they provided startup funding for the Westmoreland House. They subsequently contributed to the opening of the House Within the Hospital in 2005.
Throughout the years, the McDonald’s Owner/Operators have remained steady contributors, helping fund program and facility expansions, serving as board members, volunteers, event sponsors, and inspiring the involvement of McDonald’s suppliers and employees. In addition, they have encouraged and collected contributions from McDonald’s customers to benefit Ronald McDonald House Rochester.
