Day of Change
October 15, 2015
October 15th — the RMHC Day of Change — is no ordinary day. It is the day when the entire RMHC global organization commemorates the opening of the very first Ronald McDonald House which opened in Philadelphia. To celebrate, we rally around Donation Boxes for our Day of Change, each year, to ensure that we continue to keep families close when their child needs to heal.
What does that mean for you? You know those pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters in couch cushions and under the seats in the car? Put them to good use. Celebrate the #DayofChange #forRMHC families at participating McDonald’s. Your spare change can make a big difference. Head to your local McDonald’s and make a change by putting your change in the canister #forRMHC.
In fact, small change dropped in Donation Boxes around Alabama helped raise more than $189,000 with $19,285 just in October of last year for the Birmingham Ronald McDonald House and the families we serve. Your change stays local, so please drop #forRMHC!
RMHCA will be at several local restaurants (listed below) with red and white stripes socks on hand (that can be yours in exchange for a $10 donation) and more information on how to get involved with RMHCA. If you are interested in volunteering on Day of Change – email [email protected].

Your change can make a change for families who must travel to Birmingham for their child’s medical treatment. Together, we can make a big difference in Birmingham for #RMHCA.
It will take us awhile to count all the coins you donated, but rest assured, all that small change is making a BIG difference for the children and families that we serve! Because of your support, we can provide stability and resources to more than 1,000 families every year, and support more than 64,000 visits to our Ronald McDonald Family Room. Thanks for collecting change to make a change!
