Fast-food giant McDonald’s donated a mega 1 million free school meals to kids as Marcus Rashford’s campaign picks up speed.
Moreover, the famous fast-food chain joined hands with the renowned campaign for kids, like Manchester United. Here, the ultimate aim revolved around assisting those families with struggling backgrounds and starving kids.
Ever since the UK government’s stance upon rejecting the Labour Party’s idea to feed kids during half-term, plenty of eateries are coming on board to help. This is a major deal as customer capacity and limited opening hour restrictions are already causing problems.
