Good Morning,
We wanted to share a quick update about a special event happening today supporting local hunger relief efforts. McDonald’s Gives Back Day is taking place TODAY, Tuesday, July 29th and High Plains Food Bank is grateful to be the beneficiary.
When you dine at any participating McDonald’s in Amarillo, Canyon, Dumas, Dalhart, or Borger a portion of the day’s sales will be donated directly to HPFB. These funds will help provide meals for families across the Texas Panhandle. Right now, every $1 raised helps provide up to 9 meals.
We hope that you will join us at McDonald’s tomorrow and spread the word to make this a successful day and help us provide food and hope for our neighbors across the Texas Panhandle.
Thank you so much,
Tracy Sommers (she,her,hers)
