NEBRASKA - McDonald's restaurants across Nebraska and Western Iowa are doing their part to help flood victims.
McDonald's Government Relations Manager Jessica Lynam says that restaurants will be donating 10% of Friday's sales to local American Red Cross chapters and other organizations in need. Lynam says that anticipated proceeds from the fundraiser are expected to exceed $100,000
“Everyone is doing their part to lift our communities because it's the right thing to do,” said Nate Leonard, who along with his father Steve and brother-in-law Blake Zogleman, owns McDonald's restaurants in Omaha, Fremont, Wayne, Missouri Valley, Shelby, and Atlantic, IA. “Volunteers are working around the clock, schools are short on water and sanitizer, some of our employees are without homes. We want to do all we can to support those in need.”
Lynam says that nearly two-dozen McDonald's owner-operators of the Great Plains Co-op live and work within the regions affected by the flood, and they are working alongside their neighbors to rebuild their communities.
