May. 1, 2024
Elgin, Ill. (May 1, 2024) – Middleby, a global leader in commercial, residential, and industrial foodservice, today announced a partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) to provide cooking and ice equipment in Ronald McDonald House programs throughout the U.S.

“We are proud to support Ronald McDonald House Charities, which is highly respected for providing resources worldwide to families when they are caring for ill and injured children. This year marks 50 years RMHC has focused on caring for families who are caring for their children, which makes this partnership even more special,” said Tim FitzGerald, Middleby CEO. “We are deeply committed to supporting RMHC families during mealtime, as food can help bring comfort during a challenging time.”

Throughout 2024 Middleby will provide in-kind donations of commercial and residential pieces to RMHC Chapters in the U.S. for on-site use. The items will be chosen by location to fit their specific needs for staff use or guest meal self-preparation. Middleby will also install and train staff on the use of their new equipment.

“RMHC serves millions of families each year, saving them over $611 million in lodging and meal costs,” said Shannon Duval, Global Chief Development Officer at RMHC. “We’re incredibly grateful for the Middleby support of our programs so families can continue to focus on what matters most, the health of their child.”
