Serving our communities … both big and small
For McDonald’s, giving back comes in many shapes and sizes. It can be a local franchisee sponsoring his/her local youth baseball team. It may bring to mind our well known and long-time support of Ronald McDonald House Charities. It can include Olympic sponsorship and feeding the athletes. Whatever shape it takes, the intent remains the same – to make a positive difference in the lives of our customers and the communities where we operate.
Giving back has been fundamental to our business ever since Ray Kroc founded McDonald’s more than 50 years ago. Our communities give us so much in return—not just by supporting our business— but by increasing our brand visibility and strengthening our relationships with our stakeholders. We use three key strengths—our scope, our people and our profits—to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the global communities where we live and work.
