At Macca’s, we are proud to play an active role in neighbourhoods all over Australia. One of the ways we do this is by supporting groups and charities that are important to our customers and people.
Together with our franchisees, we commit millions of dollars each year to support activities, events and groups that help Aussies lead active lifestyles, develop skills, care for the environment, and support one another through times of crisis.
Our 40-year-long partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities is at the heart of this commitment.
