USA Today reports:
McDonald’s is introducing free “Thank You Meals” for first responders and health care workers serving on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, the fast-food giant announced Tuesday.
Starting Wednesday and through May 5, health care workers, police officers, firefighters and paramedics can get a free meal at participating restaurants nationwide available at the drive thru or for carry out.
The meals are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner and will be served in a Happy Meal box, “in the hopes of bringing a smile along with delicious food,” the company said in a news release. Officials said they expect to give away millions of free meals.
Below is their first tweet in over a month.
