LOS ANGELES- McDonald’s franchisees are serving free breakfast to first responders at the company’s 700-plus locally owned and operated restaurants in Southern California.<\/p>\n

All healthcare workers, police officers and firefighters with a valid ID or uniform are eligible to receive a free Egg McMuffin sandwich and small coffee during breakfast hours — until 10:30 a.m. — at participating restaurants in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura and Imperial counties, according to the franchisees.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been inspired by the commitment of our first responders working tirelessly to keep our communities safe,” said Paul Tulaphorn, a McDonald’s franchisee and association president of the local McDonald’s owner-operators group. “On behalf of our franchisees and employees, McDonald’s Southern California region stands ready and proud to serve our local heroes.”<\/p>\n

Several other chains have also stepped up to provide free food and drinks to first responders, including:<\/p>\n

— Chipotle, which said it is giving away 100,000 burritos between April 6 and April 10 to medical facilities. The offer was quickly snapped up, with a waitlist already in place on the company’s website;<\/p>\n

— Starbucks, which is offering a free tall brewed coffee (hot or iced) to first responders through May 3;<\/p>\n

— Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, which is offering up to five-dozen donuts to each healthcare worker on Mondays through May 12.<\/p>\n
