With McDonald’s restaurants across the country closed, the fast food giant has been busy giving its food away instead.

Since restaurants closed McDonald’s has donated more than 300 tonnes of food and drink to those in need via food banks and distribution centres in more than 1,900 towns and cities.
The chain has also offered goods to key workers on the frontline with fresh produce through its Company Shop.
