Mueller Family McDonald’s donates $10,000 to Diocese of Scranton Scholarship Foundation

SCRANTON – Carol Mueller and Christina Curran of the Mueller Family McDonald’s presented a check for $10,000 to Diocese of Scranton Scholarship Foundation on Friday, March 20, 2026.

The donation was a result of the annual Fry Fundraiser that kicked off National Catholic Schools Week Jan. 25, 2026, and ended Feb. 15, 2026. A total of 21 Mueller Family McDonald’s locations in Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, Wayne, and Wyoming counties participated by donating a portion of every large order of french fries sold during that period.

“We are so grateful to the Mueller family for their generosity and commitment to supporting families in need. This support is needed more than ever and ensures an excellent faith-based education is affordable and available to those desiring to attend one of our schools,” Kristen Donohue, Diocesan Secretary for Catholic Education/Superintendent of Schools, said.
