McDonald’s in St. Thomas is hoping to help out during the COVID-19 pandemic through the launch of a community support program. Staff at the St. Thomas location will be asking each person who comes through the drive thru, if they would like to donate $5 in support of Heroes of Health at the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital.
In return, those who donate will be offered a free coffee of any size. 100% of the proceeds raised during the 3 week program will be donated directly to STEGH.
In addition, all McDonald’s locations across Canada will be holding a nationwide initiative to support COVID-19 relief efforts and other recent Canadian tragedies called Fries For Good.
From May 8th to 21st, McDonald’s Canada will donate a portion of the proceeds from all fries sold in Canada to the Canadian Red Cross, supporting the Canadian Emergencies & COVID-19 Response Fund, the Nova Scotia Stronger Together Fund, and disaster response and preparedness work across Canada.
