Oh it’s a great day! We get to help raise funds for a very important cause with McHappy Day, AND to find out it is also “Eat What You Want Day“!! That means yes you should get the extra fries, some chicken nuggets for later and you do need dessert too, who could say no to hot apple pie. It is the day to cheat on whatever diet/meal schedule you stick to because every item purchased at McDonald’s today is going to help keep families together in times of sickness.
We have all gotten a taste of what it is like to be away from the ones you love over the past couple of years and it sucks. No child should have to be away from family when they are sick and that is where the Ronald McDonald Houses come into play.
I found this old commercial with “Six” from Blossom talking about Ronald McDonald House, this will make you feel old… Jenna” von Oÿ turned 45 last week.

Last year construction began on a new Ronald McDonald House in our province and I am sure you don’t have to think very hard to come up with the name of someone that has experienced the benefit of this charity.

Construction of new Ronald McDonald House to start in Halifax

Today EVERY PURCHASE from McDonald’s will help raise much needed funds to ensure that this important service continues to be offered to the families of sick kids.
So grab a coffee on your way in, lunch is only a few hours away and then an afternoon nibble for the drive home, why not?
Check out all the ways you can become involved and if you happen to drop by McDonald’s on High St, make sure to give us a wave as we will be on location to promote this great event.

McHappy Day is TODAY! Wednesday, May 11, and we couldn’t be happier!
