Does McDonalds take EBT for free food?

[Targarian]

Hello, my name is Sylvestri, I emailed a bit ago and forgot a few things. So, I'm in Tucson Arizona in Pima county my zip code is 85714 and about a block from McDonalds. I'm having a really hard time finding resources for food and clothing for my younger 2 children. We have food stamps or Nutrition Assistance and Arizona, and I want to buy my son’s 5 year old son a happy meal. I also have a 12-year-old daughter I want to use my EBT for the McDonalds too if so. I appreciate you.

Hi my name is Teara and I came across your page while googling for assistance on my food stamps.

Hi Teara
As you can see above, we sent some info on SNAP - EBT qualified fast food places and how it works in different states. That info is here.

Hi my name is Teara and I came across your page while googling for assistance on my food stamps. I am interested in finding out about the programs that McDonald's provide for people in need of help paying for food with an EBT card during this time. I’m looking for assistance in Mississippi. If you could reach out to me with more information on whether I can get a free hot meal from McDonalds with my EBT that would be greatly appreciated.

A few things. It depends on your state and then it depends on your local McDonalds. As about 99% of them are franchise owned and they have the ability (within reason) to run their store as they see fit. So some McDonalds may take EBT / SNAP and others not, but learn more about the EBT restaurant (fast food) program here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... _snap.html

Hello ,
I was on the USDA food stamps website researching for information that could be helpful in regards to fast food and McDonalds.

Hello ,
I was on the USDA food stamps website researching for information that could be helpful in regards to fast food and McDonalds. Every other program seems to say that I can use my EBT card at McDonalds? Is that true? As I am seeking help just for my kids as they like McDonalds. As I am struggling which I am not was before but still hoping for some assistance unfortunately due to inflation & raise of price of cost of living things have been extremely hard. If possible for any or all information for assistance with my SNAP.
