McDonald’s of San Joaquin County, in collaboration with Stockton Arena, is asking residents to help local families in need by donating canned food.

Area McDonald’s restaurants throughout San Joaquin County and Stockton Arena will be collecting canned food through Sunday, Jan. 15, 2017, in an effort to help re-stock The Ronald McDonald House of Northern California and San Joaquin County food banks and shelters.

Canned food can be dropped off at your next visit to any McDonald’s of San Joaquin County restaurant or at The Stockton Arena during any event or between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Arena Lobby.

Your extra canned food items can help feed families all year long. By selecting items from your pantry or purchasing a few extra canned food items at your next trip to the grocery store to donate, you can help make a difference in someone’s life.

McDonald’s of San Joaquin County and Stockton Arena are proud to support their community and want to thank you for your help in making this canned food drive a success.
