United Way of Central Alberta teaming up with McDonald’s

United Way Central Alberta is pleased to announce the inaugural McDonald’s United Way Day where one dollar ($1.00) from every Big Mac™, Happy Meal™ and Egg McMuffin™ will be donated to United Way. All the money raised by McDonald’s stays in Central Alberta and is invested in helping kids be all they can be.

“It’s been amazing to see the community support behind United Way Central Alberta – the media support, the volunteers who will be at some of our McDonald locations, and the local business support,” said Bob Carpenter, owner of Red Deer McDonald’s establishments. “With this promotion we are able to align what is important to our employees with the strong investment that United Way makes.”

Today only, all Red Deer McDonald’s locations will be participating in the McDonald’s United Way day which also includes the opportunity to purchase a heart for $1.00.

“We want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has already given to the 2017 campaign and encourage everyone to support this initiative with a visit to a Red Deer McDonald’s location,” Said Linda Wilson, United Way Co-Chair. “Every dollar makes a huge difference.”
