New treat to sweeten Ronald McDonald House funding

Oct 10, 2018 | 5:00 PM

Ronald McDonalds House Charities (RMHC) hope the public will sink their teeth into a new initiative and menu item at their key sponsor. McDonald’s Canada has launched its line of RMHC cookies that replaces their existing offering, with five cents from every sale going towards their homes for the family of sick children.

“Volunteers submitted recipes and McDonald’s has now come up with three heart-shaped flavours,” RMHC Saskatchewan CEO Tammy Forrester told paNOW. “The cookies are inspired by the baking by volunteers in the kitchens at Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Rooms across Canada.”

Forrester said the initiative was important because McDonald’s provides 20 per cent of their annual funding to help make the facilities possible.

“The next time you have a board or staff meeting, grab a bag of these cookies and you’ll know it’s going to a worthy cause,” she said.
