McDonald’s local licensee Peter Meadows, pictured above with the Youth Solutions team, has long been a champion of supporting youth beyond the workplace.
“We share similar values as Youth Solutions around contributing to our local community, doing what we can to ensure the wellbeing of our young people and providing opportunities for them to flourish and shine,” Mr Meadows said.
“McDonald’s in Macarthur welcomes the chance to support Youth Solutions once again in the work they do because, in the long-term, we all benefit. Our Charity Fun Night is a proactive and positive way to show our commitment to our community and its young people.”
Youth Solutions CEO Geraldine Dean thanked McDonald’s in Macarthur for again naming Youth Solutions as a Charity Fun Night recipient.
“That support from McDonald’s in Macarthur is vital to Youth Solutions and ensuring we can continue to deliver our drug and alcohol prevention and support services for young people,” Mrs Dean said.
“Last year the Charity Fun Night raised $5,386 for Youth Solutions, and that was immediately invested into our programs and services.
“The Youth Solutions team is finding, as our community grows, that there is more and more demand for our services. The challenges facing young people never cease.
“But we are passionate and confident in our programs and their emphasis on skill-building, resilience and connection, which truly do make a difference.
“Support like that from McDonald’s Macarthur relieves the fundraising pressure and allows us to focus on working with young people. We are very appreciative and don’t take that support lightly or for granted.”
