Bay Area Krispy Kreme Gives Free Doughnuts To Health Workers

BAY AREA — Krispy Kreme is stepping up amid the ongoing new coronavirus crisis with a sweet gesture for health workers on the frontlines of the battle.

On Mondays, the national doughnut chain will be giving out a free dozen of its Original Glazed doughnuts to health workers, including at several San Francisco Bay Area shops.

“Just go to a Krispy Kreme drive-thru, tell us what you need and show us your employer badge. That’s it,” the company said in a news release on Wednesday. “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 a family after a long shift.”
