 To “Give a Little Love,” customers can donate $1 or more at
participating McDonald’s restaurants throughout Central Illinois
from Monday, January 30 through Monday, February 20. Customers who
make a donation will have their names displayed on a paper heart in
the restaurant.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will stay local and benefit the
families staying in the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield,
Illinois. In 2016, more than $245,000 was raised during the Give a
Little Love promotion.
 The Ronald McDonald House in Springfield keeps families close by
providing them with a place to stay and warm meals to eat during a
difficult and stressful time in their lives. Located at 610 North
Seventh Street, RMHCCI serves more than 400 families each year. In
order to serve even more families, RMHCCI depends on the generous
support of the community, especially through the Give a Little Love
campaign. Support from the community is essential to keeping
families close and allowing them to stay at the House free of
charge.
“Year after year, we at McDonald’s, see the incredible support the
Ronald McDonald House provides to local families in need, and we
love to see the community get involved and help us give back,” said
Jack Millan, local McDonald’s owner/operator. “We can’t thank our
customers enough for their generous donations. We are truly
grateful.”
