BEAVER, PA…April 28, 2020 — In appreciation for the healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters and paramedics who are committed to public health and safety, McDonald’s is offering free Thank You Meals* through Tuesday, May 5 to demonstrate appreciation for their selfless service.
“We’ve served thousands of Thank You Meals since the program began last week,” said local McDonald’s Owner/Operator Meghan Sweeney. “As local business owners, my family and I know that this community needs McDonald’s now more than ever and we’re committed to serving them. We’re proud to support our neighbors who are on the frontlines as first responders and healthcare workers with Thank You Meals.”
While the majority of America is staying home, McDonald’s has remained open, with hardworking restaurant workers serving hot meals to communities who need quick and affordable options, especially healthcare workers and first responders on the frontlines. The brand is grateful for the ongoing dedication and commitment of McDonald’s employees who enable McDonald’s to stay open to serve our communities during these challenging times.
Each Thank You Meal will be available at no charge via drive thru or carry out at participating McDonald’s restaurants nationwide through May 5. The Thank You Meal, available during breakfast, lunch or dinner, will feature a choice of sandwiches, drinks, and a side order of a Hash Brown or small order of World Famous Fries, along with a note of appreciation. It will be served in McDonald’s iconic Happy Meal box, in the hopes of bringing a smile along with delicious food.
Day or night, frontline heroes can simply show a work badge or visit in uniform to receive one of the Thank You Meal options:
