This week, the McDonald’s Hispanic Owner-Operators Association (MHOA) joined the Black McDonald’s Operators Association (BMOA), to host the 22nd annual Food for the Body and Spirit giveaway. The Northern Illinois Food Bank, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper and Bimbo Bakeries USA have also partnered on the effort. Each year, the community event series serves individuals and families in need throughout Chicagoland. Attendees received turkeys, trimmings and baked goods to help make their holiday season just a bit brighter. Over the course of the 14 events held at McDonald’s locations across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, the MHOA will distribute 1,500 turkeys and trimmings to area residents. In total, 5,500 turkeys and baskets were distributed during the collaborative effort.
