???????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ?????? ???? Today and every day, we are proud to support the GiGi's Playhouse Inc.- Down Syndrome Achievement Centers mission to change the way the world views Down syndrome and to send a global message of acceptance for all. Last month we had the privilege of touring their space in Hoffman Estates and learning more about GiGi's FREE educational, therapeutic, and career training programs that help individuals with Down syndrome overcome obstacles, reach their potential, and achieve their dreams.

We are deeply proud and honored to be the exclusive partner for the new 'Operation Loving Hope' program through The Salvation Army of Elgin. ?? Yesterday's ribbon cutting launched this new program that hopes to make a difficult situation for children being taken from unsafe home environments a little less traumatic. "This program perfectly aligns with our mission to Serve with Significance in our communities and make lasting, transformational differences. In this case, it’s about offering comfort and support to children going through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. We hope that these suitcases, along with everything they contain, not only brighten their day but provide a sense of hope and comfort during such a difficult time." - David Bear, President of Bear Family Restaurants Read more about this new program here: https://lnkd.in/grS7bReC Elgin IL Police Department #elginil #elginillinois #mcdonalds #bearcares

?????????? + ???????????? ?? We recently recognized Lutricia, a team member at our McDonald's located on Milwaukee Avenue in Niles, for going above and beyond to help a guest with an item missing from her order! At BFR we believe that recognizing efforts like Lutiricia's not only boosts morale but also sets a powerful example for the team. It shows that we value dedication, empathy, and a proactive approach. Let's celebrate her outstanding service and encourage everyone to strive for such excellence to Serve with Significance! #servingwithsignificance #recognition #BearCares #mcdonalds

We had a great turnout last week for the Coffee with a Cop Event with the Buffalo Grove Police Department! ??♂?? Officers handed out FREE McCafe Coffee to our guests and had many amazing conversations. These events allow the community to meet with officers in a comfortable environment to ask questions and get the know the officers that serve their community. We love hosting these events and look forward to many more in the future. #coffeewithacop #buffalogroveil?#mcdonalds #community Village of Buffalo Grove
