McDonald’s restaurants in Queens and nationwide will provide free Thank You Meals to first responders and healthcare workers from Wednesday, April 22, through Tuesday, May 5.
Healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters and paramedics can pick up one meal per day through the drive-thru or carry out and can choose from various sandwiches, drinks and a side featuring small french fries or a hash brown.
