As part of their ongoing “Share the Goodness” initiative, McDonald’s Saudi Arabia recently distributed more than 2,500 boxes of primary food supplies across 11 cities in the western and southern regions of Saudi Arabia.

These boxes were given to needy families in various neighborhoods in the following cities: Jeddah, Makkah, Taif, Al-Baha, Madinah, Yanbu, Tabuk, Abha, Khamis Mushait, Najran and Jazan. 

McDonald’s employees visited these cities in order to drop off the boxes, while making sure that all hygiene measures and precautions have been taken in order to ensure the safety and health of all those involved in the process. 

By embracing the spirit of giving during the holy month, McDonald’s employees aimed to create moments of happiness for the less fortunate families. Every member of the “McDonald’s family” contributed in their own way to make the “Share the Goodness” campaign come true. 

In a statement, McDonald’s expressed its gratitude to the mayors in Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Taif and charity associations, namely, Nawan and Yabis Association in Al-Baha, Al-Janub Women’s Organization in Abha and Khamis Mushayt, Shamat Amal Association in Najran, Al-Bir Charitable Society in Jazan, Yanbu Charitable Association in Yanbu, and Orphan Care Association in Tabuk, all of which extended their supported to the campaign.

Ltd.— McDonald’s Saudi Arabia in the western and southern regions, said: “Being active and supporting members of our community is an essential pillar for us at McDonald’s Saudi Arabia. We are always looking forward to giving and contributing to those in need and supporting them in any way that we can. Our team joined hands together and cooperated with one another and with our partners in this act of giving, the mayors and the charities, exerting their utmost effort to distribute these boxes of primary food supplies. 

“It truly warms our heart to see the happiness shine on the faces of those that we support.”

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those that contributed to making this initiative a success and we always strive to fulfill our mission to continuously give to the community that we are a part of and serve.”
