McDonald’s Malaysia and the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Malaysia are collaborating to strengthen their commitment in creating a positive impact among the community through its McDonald’s Community Month programme which focuses on the welfare and well-being of children.
For this year’s McDonald’s Community Month, RMHC Malaysia will donate new mattresses and pillow sets worth RM275,000 to 20 children welfare homes nationwide.
Kicking off with a visit to Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir, an orphanage in Kuala Lumpur, McDonald’s crew members from over 300 restaurants mobilized to visit and bring cheer to 12,000 orphans in 400 charity homes by organizing McDonald’s birthday parties.
McDonald’s Malaysia corporate communications director Shamsidar Yahya said the company joined efforts to support orphans and communities in need in locations in which they operate.
“Together with RMHC Malaysia, it makes the implementation of such community outreach efforts even more meaningful as RMHC Malaysia is dedicated towards to supporting the welfare and well-being of underprivileged children,” she said.
Shamsidar added, ”Organizing McDonald’s birthday parties at charity homes displays the care we have for these children, since birthdays are the most meaningful and special moment of a person’s life. That is why we are determined to make this celebration an annual event, and as long as it is welcomed, we will continue the joint effort for the welfare of these children.”
Shamsidar and RMHC Malaysia general manager Nasri Nordin presented the new mattresses and pillow sets to Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Kuala Lumpur.
“The new mattresses and pillow sets are very welcomed as they can provide comfort for the children after a tiring day of activities,” said Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Kuala Lumpur president Dato’ Faridah Omar Shah, in thanking McDonald’s and RMHC for bringing smiles and cheer to the children
McDonald’s Malaysia and RMHC Malaysia are committed to reaching out to as many people in need as possible through the ongoing @McD & RMHC Community programme, with more than 7,000 community activities expected to be carried out annually, involving its employees across the country.
