Due to Illinois’ decision to shut down schools because of coronavirus / Covid-19, McAlister’s Deli is offering free kids meals when accompanied by an adult, Monday through Friday, for the next two weeks. There is NO purchase necessary, and it’s good for 2 children per adult. It appears that ALL locations are at least offering lunches, and some appear to be offering dinner too.

This came up in my feed yesterday, and I’ve seen it shared by many of my friends from around the state of Illinois, so it appears to be valid at all McAlister’s locations in Illinois at least. There is NO official press release on McAlister’s website, but each of the individual store’s Facebook pages detail their offering. I’ve provided a link to the Algonquin McAlister’s, but the same is true for Elgin, Vernon Hills, Bloomingdale, etc.
