McDonald's, 3 Northeastern Boulevard, Nashua

If you feel a Big Mac attack or Quarter-Pounder craving coming on, try to aim for this Wednesday between 4-7 p.m., when all purchases at all the McDonald’s in New Hampshire will result in a percentage of the restaurants’ proceeds will be donated to the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police.

This will be the third such fundraiser for the association, a nonprofit that “focuses on public safety and elevating the standards of police service and the advancement of the highest ethical and professional standards,” according to the organization.

All 54 New Hampshire McDonald’s are participating, according to Peter Napoli, a local McDonald’s owner and operator.

“McDonald’s franchisees across New Hampshire are proud to show our continued support for all the police departments statewide with our third fundraising event,” Napoli said, adding that the association hopes to surpass their $50,000 goal, as it did in the past to events.

Locally, there are three McDonald’s in Nashua, at 3 Northeastern Boulevard, 45 E. Hollis St. and 255 Daniel Webster Highway.

There are two in Hudson, at 75 Derry Road and 251 Lowell Road, while Merrimack’s McDonald’s are at 9 Dobson Way and 5 Continental Boulevard and Milford’s is at 599 Nashua St.

During the three-hour fundraising period, a local police officer will have a cruiser on display at each restaurant. Officers will provide educational and safety information to customers.

Association executive director Pat Sullivan said members of the organization enjoyed taking part in the previous two fundraisers, held in 2016 and 2018, and they are “looking forward to partnering with McDonald’s again this year.

“This effort raises money for continued training programs that allow us to best maintain the safety of New Hampshire residents, Sullivan said.

“We also appreciate the opportunity to interact with local families and community members to shed light on our jobs in law enforcement, building one-on-one connections.”
