Last month McDonald's fans were devastated as the fast food chain announced that it had taken the decision to close all of its restaurants in the UK.
But despite restaurants remaining closed, employees and franchisees have continued serving their local communities and supporting national organisations, helping those that need it the most.
Now McDonald's has decided to re-open one of its drive-thrus - but it's not to provide food.
This week McDonald’s handed over use of its Meridian Business Park Drive Thru in Leicester for use by DHU Healthcare for COVID-19 testing for NHS workers.
McDonald's is yet to open any more drive-thrus for the same purposes, and has not yet released any plans to do so in Manchester.
However, that's not to say that restaurants haven't been doing their bit more locallyl
Manchester Debdale restaurant has provided care packages to a local domestic abuse centre, local food banks and Age UK.
Congleton's branch answered the pleas of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine McGuinness by supplying McDonald’s packaging for her and her autistic children to ensure they were still eating.
The fast food chain has since released a printable template so all kids can enjoy the Happy Meal experience at home.
Bravo, McDonald's.
