Here's a meal that lets you bring smiles to children in need

Get ready to double the happiness with a feel-good holiday treat for two through the McDonald’s Happy Meal Buy 1, Share 1 program!

With the excitement and buzz filling the air as Christmas closes in, we gently feel how much Filipinos cherish the holidays. Beyond the feast and gifts, what truly brings warmth to the holiday celebration is the spirit of giving, which has never been more alive.

While this year is a little bit different, McDonald's keeps the gift-giving tradition alive as it launches the Happy Meal Buy 1, Share 1 program, a convenient way of spreading happiness.

With every Happy Meal purchased from Nov. 27 to Dec.17, McDonald’s matches this with a book or toy to be donated to another child from partner beneficiaries in areas affected by typhoons Rolly and Ulysses. A Happy Meal purchase that goes for as low as P90 can make not just one, but two children happier.

Through this initiatve, McDonald’s aims to share toys or books to one million Filipino children.

“We have been through difficult times, and we want to find a way to help spread the holiday cheer this season. Through this initiative, we continue to foster the Filipino spirit of giving even in the smallest of ways that still leave a lasting impact on the community,” shares Oliver Rabatan, marketing director, McDonald’s Philippines.

Beneficiaries of the Happy Meal Buy 1 Share 1 program includes children from Rizal, Batangas, Albay, Quezon, Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Pampanga, and Sorsogon, as well as all Bahay Bulilit communities and other select NGOs and LGUs.

A small amount can go a long way in making someone’s holiday a little bit brighter. For more details about McDonald’s Happy Meal Buy 1 Share 1 Program, follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
