McDonald's Prosperity Gives Back on 19 & 20 January 2013

Last week, I went to one of the McDonald outlet in Mutiara Damansara which is situated next to Kidzania. I realized that there's actually three Mcdonald outlet in Mutiara Damansara but this is the largest one among all and the only one that comes with drive thru compared to the one at The Curve or e@curve. Anyway, this time round McDonald is organizing the Prosperity Gives Back – A Weekend of Sharing with McDonald’s where McDonald will be raising funds for local charity homes with the help of caring Malaysians.

With the ‘Prosperity Gives Back’ campaign now into its third year and in conjunction with the 20th Anniversary of the Prosperity Burger, McDonald’s will be dedicating a single weekend, 19th and 20th January 2013 to raise proceeds for more than 60 local charity homes. On these two days, RM1 will be donated to the ‘Prosperity Gives Back’ campaign with every purchase of a Prosperity Meal.

“McDonald’s has always stood by giving back to those in need and bringing benefit to local communities in all our operations worldwide. Throughout our 31 years in Malaysia, we have undertaken many community outreach initiatives that have benefited various communities. Prosperity Gives Back marks the first 2013 community initiative by McDonald’s to touch as many lives, as far reaching as possible across the nation,” said Sarah Casanova

“We want to enable caring Malaysians to spread and share prosperity with those in need while enjoying their favourite peppery treat because one of the key values of PROSPERITY is sharing. ‘Prosperity Gives Back’ gives us that opportunity to do so. It does not only spread joy amongst the disadvantaged that shall be receiving but it will also give a great satisfaction to those who will be giving,” she added.

“Thanks to a generous donation from McDonald’s Prosperity Gives Back program, we were able to settle a significant portion of our expenses including the deposit and rent for our premises, at a time when we were in a desperate need for funds. This timely contribution ensured that the folks under my care continued to have a place where they could call home,” said Norma Safa, caretaker of Nur Home for the Disabled.
