We have a generous donor who’s agreed to match all donations up to $1 million and we hope you’ll take advantage of it! These funds will allow us to ensure Israel’s soldiers and security forces can safeguard Israel by providing them with essentials such as:

  • Modern body armor,
  • Medical supplies, and
  • Life-saving equipment

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to get these supplies to those who need them most if you don’t respond before the end of February.

Rodrick stated that the shared mall tenant fees and property taxes were the most expensive paid by the company for a single site.

He said that the cost of running a business in San Francisco is continuing to rise at an unprecedented rate. The new minimum wage of $20 for California fast-food workers added to the pressure to keep this location open.

McDonald’s at 255 Winston Drive is a Stonestown institution.

Rodrick stated, “This is an incredibly difficult day for my entire family.”

He said that all the employees had been offered jobs in nearby locations and the vast majority will stay with the company.
