“What better time than Family Day in Saskatchewan to recognize our partners, who everyday help keep families close at Ronald McDonald House Charities Saskatchewan,” said Tammy Forrester, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities Saskatchewan. “We extend particular gratitude and appreciation this Family Day month, to Weyburn’s local McDonald’s owner operator Amir Aminpour.” She noted that through their McDonald’s giving over the years, Amir and his team have been able to support families from Weyburn, and beyond, who have needed to travel for the medical needs of their child or children. In the past two years, 11 families from the city of Weyburn have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon for a total of 67 nights – and the McDonald’s in Weyburn has supported them.
Every day, Sarmiento works diligently beside her crew to serve quality food, with excellent service and warm smiles to restaurant guests. In addition, her significant contribution to employee growth, marketing and restaurant operations, continues to make a positive impact on both employees and guests. Born and raised in the Philippines, Sarmiento began her journey with McDonald’s 20 years ago in her hometown of Manila. She started as crew and worked her way up to manager. Then Sarmiento moved to Weyburn in 2013 to continue her career with McDonald’s. “When I first moved to Weyburn, I was very nervous. As time went on, I fell in love with the community. The people here are very friendly,” said Sarmiento.
