Orillia McDonald’s restaurants are raising funds for Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital to help purchase supplies and equipment needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beginning May 12, restaurant guests are invited to make a $5 donation to Soldiers’ Healthcare Heroes program in exchange for any sized coffee or tea and a bumper sticker stating, “We support our Healthcare Heroes.”

“We are happy to engage our guests and employees in a group effort to help our Healthcare Heroes during this pandemic,” said Jason O’Neill, owner/operator, Orillia McDonald’s Restaurants.
