The second annual McDonald’s Drive-Thru Challenge has kicked off! Now through Dec. 12, McDonald’s restaurants across North Florida and South Georgia are raising money through the drive-thru benefiting local Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and families in need.
As a result of the ongoing pandemic, the local RMHC Chapter’s fundraising opportunities have been impacted; in an effort to help close the gap, local McDonald’s restaurants are increasing awareness of the Round-Up for RMHC program though drive-thru orders. Each time someone orders through the drive-thru, they can round up the purchase to the nearest dollar or choose to give $1, $3 or $5 for RMHC. These donations provide vital resources and support to children and their families receiving care at nearby hospitals.

For the second year in a row, local McDonald’s restaurants are engaging in a friendly competition to see which restaurant can raise the most monetary donations for RMHC and are encouraging more visitors in the drive-thru during peak hours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In the Drive-Thru Challenge’s inaugural year, thousands of McDonald’s restaurants surpassed their goal and raised a total of $1.23 million across the southeast U.S. to support their local RMHC houses. This year, McDonald’s restaurants want to double those funds and raise $2 million for RMHC.
If you’d like to donate but don’t wait to wait in line, you can make an RMHC donation by placing an order on the McDonald’s app.
