World Kindness Day: Krispy Kreme is giving away dozens of free items to early customers

This week, Krispy Kreme is feeling giving.

To celebrate World Kindness Day, the bakery company is giving excited customers a dozen original glazed doughnuts for free on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

At participating U.S. locations, the promotion is valid for the first 500 customers in-store or at the drive-thru.

“World Kindness Day is a reminder that we can all make a positive impact in people’s lives, including through small gestures like sharing a sweet treat. We hope that each dozen Original Glazed doughnuts we give away enables and inspires many dozens of small acts of kindness,” Krispy Kreme Global Chief Brand Office Dave Skena said in a news release.

The deal coincides with the chain’s Thursday announcement of its Thanksgiving-themed collection, which includes four new donut tastes for the holiday.
