Following its recent relief efforts in Asheville, North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene, the McRig is now stationed at 9600 4th Street North in St. Petersburg. The distinctive semi-truck, adorned with McDonald’s iconic golden arches, will be serving hot meals and water daily from 10 AM to 3 PM.

This three-day event offers an opportunity for local residents, particularly those facing challenging circumstances, to receive a warm meal at no cost. The McRig’s presence underscores McDonald’s commitment to community support and disaster relief efforts.

Those interested in benefiting from this initiative are encouraged to visit the specified location during the operating hours. This gesture of goodwill from McDonald’s provides a chance for community members to come together and enjoy a free meal during what may be a difficult time for many.
