McDonald’s employees get owners to Back the Cat 

Two employees at the Bancroft McDonald’s made a plea for the restaurant’s owners to support their community. The owners said they’re “lovin’ it.” 

Jacquie LeBlond and Janet Hass responded to a call from owners Jamie Campbell and Terri Van Zant to give suggestions on local causes worth supporting ahead of the holiday season.  

Hass and LeBlond wrote passionate appeals to support the Back the Cat campaign.
