Leading Edge Company
Once again McDonald's takes the lead for not only Quick Service Restaurant, but all Multi-National companies. As a consumer and a small business person I respect the way they are always responsible to the community in which they conduct business. Perhaps some of the morons who have been so negative from everything from Ronald McDonald's to Happy Meal toys will step it up and match the donation!
