Krispy Kreme is celebrating National Doctors’ Day by giving a dozen doughnuts to healthcare workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.
The company announced on Monday that any healthcare worker can receive a dozen doughnuts for free every Monday until May 11.
“Taking care of ourselves and each other never has been more important. Getting through this together by staying apart seems unnatural. But even now … there can be joy. It can bring and keep us ‘together’ in this challenging, disruptive time. At Krispy Kreme, we love bringing smiles to others, especially those who need them the most,” the company said in a statement.
“Just go to a Krispy Kreme drive-thru, tell us what you need and show us your employer badge. That’s it. Pick up some free dozens on the way to work for you and your colleagues, or maybe a free dozen on your way home to family after a long shift,” the company added.
Krispy Kreme follows other companies thanking healthcare providers as the coronavirus continues to spread across the country.
Crocs announced it is donating up to 10,000 pairs of shoes a day to health workers, and Starbucks is giving away free coffee to any customer who identifies as a first responder.
