In light of recent Typhoon Odette (Rai), McDonald’s Philippines, through its charity of choice, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), has committed to serve 20,000 meals for communities affected by the super typhoon through their McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen program.
In partnership with Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), the Naval Reserve Command Multi-Sectoral Linkaging Committee, Air Asia, Philippine Airlines, and Coca-Cola, McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen will be able to reach and serve affected communities.
McDonald’s franchisees in said areas are also mobilizing to provide meals.
“In the aftermath of Typhoon Odette, it is devastating to see the damage it has brought to the lives and livelihood of our kababayans, especially during this Christmas season. Now more than ever, we all need to work together to provide them with relief and help them rebuild. At McDonald’s, we are always guided by our core value of malasakit, and our immediate response is our commitment to serve 20,000 meals. We will continue to work with our partners both in the private and public sector for other opportunities to extend assistance to the hard-hit areas of Typhoon Odette,” said Kenneth S. Yang, McDonald’s Philippines President and CEO and RMHC President.
