Do a good deed on Saturday, Oct. 27, and get rewarded with a free lunch from McDonald's.

Sign up to volunteer from 9 to 11 a.m. with one of nine organizations across the Triangle and Eastern North Carolina as part of a nationwide day of service.

The work will range from cleaning out horse barns to raking leaves. Among the charities you can help: three Ronald McDonald Houses, a horse therapy program, a local autism group, a YMCA and several charities that help at-risk children.
