McHappy Day restaurant FAQ

When is McHappy Day?

McHappy Day is held once a year on a weekday in early May, at McDonald's restaurants across Canada. McDonald's Canada announces the exact date in the spring, a few weeks before.

How much of my order goes to charity on McHappy Day?

McDonald's Canada says a portion of food and beverage sales on the day goes to Ronald McDonald House Charities and other local children's charities. It does not publish a fixed amount per item, and some franchisees add their own pledges for their restaurants.

Where does McHappy Day money go?

To Ronald McDonald House programs, which house and support families of critically sick and injured children near the hospital through Ronald McDonald Houses and in-hospital Family Rooms, and to local children's charities chosen by each restaurant's franchisee.

Do drive-thru, app and delivery orders count on McHappy Day?

In recent campaigns, yes. McDonald's Canada counted in-restaurant, kiosk, drive-thru and McDonald's app orders, and McDelivery orders through DoorDash, Skip and Uber Eats, with the delivery fee waived for the day and service fees still charged.

What else can I buy to support McHappy Day?

Restaurants sell McHappy Day Socks and paper Hearts in several donation amounts, and guests can round up their order to the nearest dollar during the campaign. Hearts can also be added in the McDonald's app.

Is McHappy Day a discount day?

No. Menu prices stay the same; the fundraiser comes from a share of sales and from Socks, Hearts and round-ups. Regular McDonald's app deals are separate and follow their own terms.

Have restaurants announced McHappy Day 2027 specials yet?

Not yet. As of November 13, 2026, no restaurant in the cities we cover has published a McHappy Day 2027 special on its website, app or social channels. Specials are added here with their price, dates and source once a restaurant announces one.

About McHappy Day

McHappy Day is McDonald's Canada's one-day national fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada and other local children's charities. It is held once a year on a weekday in early May. On the day, a portion of food and beverage sales at participating McDonald's restaurants goes to the cause, so any menu item counts, from a coffee to a family meal. It is a fundraiser, not a discount day: menu prices stay the same.

In recent campaigns, orders have counted at the counter, kiosk and drive-thru, in the McDonald's app and through McDelivery on DoorDash, Skip and Uber Eats, where the delivery fee was waived for the day while service fees still applied. Guests can also buy McHappy Day Socks or paper Hearts, and round up their order to the nearest dollar at the drive-thru, kiosk or front counter during the weeks around the event.

The money supports Ronald McDonald House programs, which give families of critically sick and injured children a place to stay, meals and support near the hospital, through Ronald McDonald Houses and in-hospital Family Rooms across Canada. Each restaurant's franchisee also names local children's charities, and some add their own pledges on the day, such as a share of daily sales. In 2026, McDonald's Canada announced the date on April 7, about a month ahead.
