McDo Kindness Kitchen provides 50,000 meals for frontliners

McDonald's Philippines, through its charity arm Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), has launched the 'McDo Kindness Kitchen' program to provide 50,000 meals to frontliners and affected communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Select McDonald's branches are dedicated to preparing these meals, with each kitchen producing 1,500 meals daily, and partners assisting in distribution.

The initiative aims to support medical health workers, police, LGU volunteers, government agencies, and local communities.

The first Kindness Kitchen opened on March 20, and to date, over 17,000 meals have already been served.

Currently, three other McDo Kindness Kitchens are operational in Las Piñas, Cebu Escario, and Makati.

Since March 15, McDonald's Philippines and RMHC have already distributed over 30,000 meals to 40 hospitals and beneficiaries of local government offices within Metro Manila and Mindanao.

RMHC is accepting cash donations from individuals and corporations, with a 50-peso donation covering the cost of one meal per person.

Partner companies like ABS-CBN Foundation, Coca-Cola, and Angkas are assisting in the distribution of meals.
