KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — As a way of saying thank you, McDonald’s is giving away free breakfast to teachers, faculty and staff for five straight days in October.
With a valid work ID, employees falling into these categories can drive-thru or go into any McDonald’s and receive their free breakfast beginning Monday and running through Friday, October 15.
“Together with our Owner/Operators, we’re proud to serve the people who make our communities a better place, and this is an important time to say thank you to some of our everyday heroes,” said Joe Erlinger, President, McDonald’s USA. “We were honored to give away 12 million free Thank You Meals to first responders and healthcare workers last year and now, with educators going above and beyond, we’re excited to recognize them in a way only McDonald’s can.”
While menus may vary, they can choose from an Egg McMuffin, a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit or a Sausage Biscuit, with a hashbrown included. To sweeten the deal, they can also pick a beverage from a medium hot or iced coffee, soft drink or ice tea.
The free breakfast program was inspired by teacher appreciation events at local restaurants: A follow-up to last year’s “Thank You” meals for first responders, a program that took place as the COVID-19 pandemic began to hit the country.
