“Shamrock Shake season is officially here,” according to a statement, with every purchase through Tuesday, March 17 benefitting local Ronald McDonald House chapters.
For each sale, “Connecticut and Western Massachusetts McDonald’s restaurants will donate $0.25 from every Shamrock Shake purchased to the local Ronald McDonald House, giving customers the opportunity to enjoy the fan-favorite minty treat while directly supporting families in need,” according to a statement.
“Over the past four years, McDonald’s restaurants across New England raised a combined $515,000 for their local Ronald McDonald House during the annual Shamrock Shake fundraiser,” according to a statement. “Connecticut and Western Massachusetts McDonald’s customers alone have contributed $126,270 of that total, demonstrating the powerful impact a community can make together. In 2025, Shamrock Shake purchases in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts helped provide 423 nights of lodging, meals and transportation for families during some of their most challenging times.”
A CT woman opened a new food store. Her ‘meet-the-farmer model’ draws from growers across the state.
“The Shamrock Shake promotion is a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together,” said local Owner/Operator Scott Taylor. “We love seeing our restaurants filled with customers who are excited not only for the signature green drink, but for the chance to support families staying at our local Ronald McDonald House.”
“The annual Shamrock Shake fundraiser plays a vital role in supporting the families we serve,” said Michelle D’Amore, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Connecticut & Western Massachusetts. “We are incredibly grateful to McDonald’s and every customer who purchases and shake and helps provide our families with a warm place to stay, a comforting meal, and the peace of mind that comes from facing their child’s medical journey together as a family.”
