A million and a half cups of McDonald’s McCafe Coffee will be donated to active and veteran servicemen after the Buy One, Give One McCafe Coffee for our Military program, which took place from October 31 to November 13 at 233 McDonald’s restaurants.

Brand Engagement Manager Kyle Johannsen said everyone involved with this program is excited to spread the holiday cheer.

“The Peoria, Bloomington and Central Illinois McDonald’s owner/operators love this program, because it’s fun for the customers and it’s also a huge give back to those that support and protect our country. So the fact that each year we continue to donate more and more cups makes it even more exciting,” Johannsen said.
