Rikesh Patel owns 25 McDonald's franchises in Louisiana. After Hurricane Laura hit his town, he called the corporate office and within one day a kitchen-on-wheels dubbed "McRig" arrived in Lake Charles to help feed families in need.
Over the next six days including Labor Day weekend, McRig served more than 10,000 free brown bag meals of cheeseburgers, fries and bottle water to families in need. But there's more. Some of Patel's restaurants are still closed due to storm damage and power outages, but for those employees who can work he's offered to pay time-and-a-half, AND to provide housing if they need it.
