Christmas isn’t complete if happiness is not shared with others, especially those who need it most. Through the McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen, McDonald’s commits to sharing a festive meal with nearly 7,000 chosen beneficiaries, while all its stores combined will donate 1 million Happy Meal books and toys to school beneficiaries.
In line with this, 12 days before Christmas, McDonald’s will also launch its Share-A-Meal program, to give its customers a chance to give back with the opportunity to send McDonald’s meals to their charity of choice with no purchase requirement.
All a customer needs to do is to visit a McDonald’s store and fill out a Share-A-Meal card as McDonald’s will grant over 1,000 wishes and share over 18,000 meals come December 25.
