Ways to give  
 
We need a strong and collective response to McDonald's Canada on their recent allergy-related changes to let them know this is unacceptable to the more than 2.5 million Canadians with food allergies, and to the millions more who support them.
 
Support our #NotLovinIt McDonald's campaign to keep our message in the forefront with a public media campaign.
