'APPRECIATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL'

MCDONALD'S TEAM INVITES FOLKS TO CHECK OUT NEW RENOVATED SPACE, SUPPORT MATERNAL CHILD CARE UNIT

Port Hope Mcdonald's is hoping to help spread some smiles at Northumberland Hills Hospital - and, at the same time, gearing up to showcase a new look at their Rose Glen location.

The Mcdonald's team is hosting a grand reopening celebration of the restaurant's dining room area March 24 to 26, said Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation, in a recent release, while also sharing how in an effort to give this celebration a community focus, the weekend will also raise monies for the foundation.

"We're grateful to have generous community partners like Mcdonald's," said Rhonda Cunningham, CEO of the foundation. "With a busy obstetrical program, staying current with the equipment necessary to serve families in our community is imperative.

"We're excited to have Mcdonald's step forward to organize this event and help raise funds to support the purchase of newborn bassinets."

As part of the fun, Mcdonald's will be donating $1 from every meal sold over the weekend - excluding Happy Meals - in support of the hospital's maternal child care unit, it was explained.

"The last few years have heightened our appreciation for our community hospital and we are grateful to all of its incredible staff," said Lisa Wilson, owner and operator of the Mcdonald's restaurant in Port Hope. "We are excited to welcome the community to see our renovation and raise funds in support of such an important cause."

In addition to $1 from every meal sold donated, Mcdonald's will also be collecting donations for the foundation. Those who visit the Port Hope location at

175 Rose Glen Rd. N. between March 24 and 26, 2023 can donate to the fundraiser in support of the purchase of four newborn

bassinets, it was explained.
