Local McDonald’s restaurants across the Tri-State, including locations in Jasper, Loogootee, and Tell City, are coming together to recognize the contributions of teachers and healthcare professionals with a special one-day appreciation event.

On Monday, May 4, educators and nurses can stop by participating McDonald’s locations to receive a free beverage with a valid school or healthcare ID. The offer includes any size soft drink, hot or iced tea, or coffee and is available throughout the day.

Organizers say the event is a simple way to thank those who play a vital role in supporting and strengthening local communities. Teachers and healthcare workers are recognized for their ongoing dedication to education, patient care, and service to families across the region.

The promotion will be available at locally owned McDonald’s restaurants throughout southwestern Indiana and surrounding areas, including communities near Evansville, Vincennes, and Tell City, as well as parts of Kentucky.

Community members are encouraged to share the information and help recognize the educators and healthcare professionals who make a difference every day.
