Chicago IL— McDonald’s is bringing back the “Thank You Meal” program, which we launched last year to recognize first responders and healthcare workers at the height of the pandemic. This year, we are honoring another essential group in our communities that has stepped up during a challenging time to inspire and empower others: educators.
From October 11-15, McDonald’s is making school day mornings a little brighter for teachers, administrators and school staff across the country with a free breakfast “Thank You Meal”. Educators simply need to head to their local participating McDonald’s during breakfast hours, and show a valid work ID, for a free meal on us!
To spread the love and gratitude even further, we’re calling on McDonald’s loyal fans to share how an exceptional educator has inspired them or made a difference in their lives by using #ThankYouMeal on Twitter, TikTok or Instagram. We’ll celebrate select educators in communities across the country in big and small ways – like sharing their stories on the brand’s social channels and surprising teachers with breakfast deliveries at their schools.
