Tamworth residents are encouraged to get out and support McHappy Day this weekend.

It’s the major fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The organisation is encouraging residents to get on board and purchase a $2 helping hand, or a pair of Ronald Socks for $3, from McDonald’s in aid of the cause.

The socks and hands are available now, ahead of the big day. 

Locals can also get behind McHappy Day by dropping into their closest McDonald’s store and making a donation to RMHC, or by buying a Big Mac, with $2 from each sale going to the cause.

Corporate Helping Hands will also be available for businesses.
