Our Charities

We proudly support various charities initiatives as a part of our social responsibility. Through the sales of items in our vending and coffee machines we give the option to our clients to donate part of their commission to the charities that we work with.Currently we are supporting the Ronald McDonald House.

Ronald McDonald House Charities was born out of the unlikely partnership of Dr Audrey Evans, an oncologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, McDonald’s and the American Football team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fred Hill, a player for the Philadelphia Eagles, had a daughter suffering from leukemia, which prompted the team to raise in excess of $100,000 dollars to support the hospital. This was met with much gratitude from Dr Evans and her team but also with a request for another $32,000 to fund a house in which the families of the children in the hospital could get proper rest, away from the ward.

In turn this request was met by Ed Rensi, an area manager for McDonald’s. The company was using the Eagles’ players as part of an advertising campaign and offered to donate the proceeds from their ‘shamrock shake’ to the cause. In return Ed asked that the house be known as the Ronald McDonald House. So it was that on 15 October 1974, the first Ronald McDonald House opened its doors. In the
intervening years Ronald McDonald House Charities has spread across the world, forming new and independent branches in over 62 regions and countries.

From the moment they opened their first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, PA, the entire McDonald’s system (owner/operators, suppliers, employees and customers) has helped them to support families with sick children providing stability and vital resources.
