McHappy Day
Each November, McDonald's restaurants in Central Arkansas celebrate McHappy Day at McDonald's which is a worldwide program that raises awareness and funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities and other children's causes.
McHappy Day will take place in over 100 countries and will raise thousands of dollars. In Central Arkansas, McDonald's restaurants will donate $1 from the sale of select menu items. Customers can also help support RMHC through the "Give a Hand" program where colorful paper hands are sold for $1 with proceeds going to support RMHC. Hands will be displayed inside the restaurants through November, reminding Arkansans to lend a hand to support those in need.
Social responsibility has been a fundamental part of McDonald's business for more than 50 years. David Stokes, President of the Central Arkansas McDonald's Co-op, says that they are proud to support McHappy Day. "Every year in November, we're reminded of the generosity this community demonstrates by their participation in our McHappy Day fundraising efforts. It's especially fulfilling to know that we're directly benefiting our local RMHC Chapter and children in Arkansas and surrounding states."
Make sure you do your part to help those in need this November, and "Give A Hand" to McHappy Day. Keep checking back to learn about which McDonald's menu items will also be a part of the fundraising efforts. You have to eat anyway, so why not come out and support a wonderful charity at the same time.
