Mcdonalds support Ronald Mcdonald house charieties by having a donation box at the counter for costomers to donate their change and also providing a day where all big macs sold have half their worth donated towards Ronald Mcdonald house charities. This day is known as Mchappy day and encourages people to support seriously ill children and their families.

Mcdonalds also have a tree planting day to help society improve the enviroment and ask for their packaging to be thrown in the bin or, if possible, recycled.
