Black McDonald’s Owners Brought Smiles To Many Families By Donating 2,000 Turkeys for Thanksgiving To  Communities In Illinois And Indiana.

 

The 19th Annual Food For The Body & Spirit Program Shared Meals and Inspiration with Chicagoland Residents.

On November 15, 2018, The Black McDonald’s Operators Association of Chicago and Northwest Indiana (BMOA) kicked off their Annual “Food For The Body & Spirit” program, a community outreach event serving individuals and families in need.  The McDonald’s restaurant located at 7601 S. Vincennes (Auburn Gresham) served as the kick-off location for this year’s free turkey basket giveaway.

 

Over the course of three additional events hosted at McDonald’s restaurants across the area, the BMOA distributed 2,000 frozen turkeys and baskets with side items (500 per location) to Chicagoland residents. On the heels of Veteran’s Day, this year’s Food For The Body & Spirit Program also honored  the men and women who served in the Armed Forces. At each turkey giveaway, the first 50 veterans, with valid proof of veteran status were provided the opportunity to advance through the line to receive their turkeys first.  For three days, November 15, 16 & 17, turkeys and food baskets were distributed at the following McDonald’s locations…5015 W. Madison, Chicago, Illinois – 4239 W. 167th St, Country Club Hills, 60478 and 3639 169th St, Hammond, Indiana.  See video below to see the joy this annual event brings to the community.
