This week, McDonald's has stepped up to support first responders and communities affected by the LA wildfires. Since Tuesday, the McRig - a near full-size McDonald’s kitchen on wheels - has been providing meals to our heroic first responders at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, while the Snack Truck has been stationed across the San Fernando Valley and the BMO Stadium serving evacuees.
Our hearts with LA.
