The McRig truck in St Pete serving up free food this week. With so many people still recovering from two big storms, McDonalds has send their McRig truck to St. Pete to serve up free meals to those in need. You need to jump on this today and tomorrow.

The McRig truck will be parked at the McDonalds at 9600 4th Street North, which is right by our radio station. You may have seen the big semi truck parked their Monday. It will again be there today through Wednesday, October 16. The McRig will serve hot meals and water in the parking lot of the St. Pete location, from 10am to 3pm each day. For those in need or looking for a warm meal, this is a great chance to stop by and enjoy a bit of support during challenging times. Many families are still without power and making meals can be challenging, especially if you have kids.

After providing relief in Asheville, North Carolina, following Hurricane Helene, the iconic McDonald’s semi-truck now heads to St. Pete to help those in need.

There are so many places in the bay area that are helping families affected by the storms with free meals and water. Some good places to follow are World Central Kitchen, and Feeding Tampa Bay for more info on free meals being offered to those affected by Hurricane Milton.
