On Friday, November 22, 2024, 13 McDonald’s Restaurants across Niagara are teaming up with United Way Niagara for a special Coffee Day. On this day, $0.50 from every Premium Roast Brewed Coffee and Tea sold at participating McDonald’s Restaurants will be donated to United Way Niagara to support local children and families in need. This initiative highlights the longstanding commitment of McDonald’s restaurants in the Niagara Region to positively impact the communities they serve.

The locally owned and operated McDonald’s Restaurants actively support a variety of community-driven efforts, establishing themselves as a vital community partner. From ongoing support for Ronald McDonald House Charities to helping local food banks, and empowering youth sports, McDonald’s embodies community partnership through meaningful contributions and dedicated service.

“November 22nd is a great opportunity to highlight and support the important work United Way Niagara does for our Region,” said Anne Molnar, Community Relations Representative for twelve of the McDonald’s Restaurants in the Niagara Region.

“As locally owned and operated businesses, we are excited to partner with an organization that supports children and families in our community.” The funds raised on November 22’s Coffee Day for United Way will help fuel essential programs that provide food, shelter, and vital services to children and families facing a variety of challenges in the Niagara region.

“We are incredibly grateful for this partnership with McDonald’s and their ongoing dedication to strengthening our community,” said Frances Hallworth, CEO of United Way Niagara. “McDonald’s Coffee Day for United Way is a fantastic opportunity for people to enjoy their favourite hot beverage while also making a meaningful impact on the lives of their neighbors. Every cup will make a difference.”
