Many see their local McDonald’s as a place to have a meal or a snack at a reasonable price. But we like to go beyond these dimensions and think of the broader role our restaurants play in the communities we serve. It's important to our customers, to our employees, to the company, and to the memory of our founder that we give back to the communities that give us so much.
