Giving back has always been fundamental to our business since Ray Kroc founded McDonald’s more than 50 years ago. Our communities give us so much in return not just by supporting our business but also by increasing our brand visibility and strengthening our relationships with our stakeholders. McDonald’s uses three key strengths – our scope, our people and our profits - to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the global communities where we live and work.
The real strength of McDonald’s community involvement lies with GARSB and our franchisees who provide grassroots support to their local neighborhoods. Day in and day out, we make a solid effort to contribute positively to our communities in dynamic ways, among those include:
Supporting health, recreation, and other community programs, Providing aid during natural disasters and other emergencies, and
Contributing to local community development.

McDonald’s customers and store profits.
