Valvoline Partners with Ronald McDonald House Global on Children’s Mental Health Initiative

Valvoline announced on Tuesday that it has committed $750,000 over three years to support mental health initiatives as a Ronald McDonald House Global corporate partner.

In the first year of the partnership, Valvoline will provide $25,000 to 10 Ronald McDonald House chapters to support psychosocial and behavioral health programming, including age‑appropriate emotional support, sibling programming, crisis‑intervention training, caregiver support, structured counseling, and trauma‑informed care.

"When a child is facing medical treatment, the whole family feels it, and mental health support can be just as essential as physical care,” Valvoline President and CEO Lori Flees said in a statement. “Through this partnership, we’re helping expand services that strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and support families when they need it most."

Through the end of May, Valvoline Instant Oil Change service center teams in select markets will engage customers through a point-of-sale fundraising campaign. The partnership will also enable VIOC employees to volunteer with their local Ronald McDonald House chapter.

The partnership with Ronald McDonald House Global is part of Valvoline’s Happy to Help community impact work, which focuses on supporting children’s mental health and their mental well-being.
