Krispy Kreme giving away boxes of glazed doughnuts for World Kindness Day

What better way to serve up kindness than with free doughnuts?

World Kindness Day deal: A dozen glazed doughnuts free at Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme announced it will be celebrating World Kindness Day on Nov. 13 by giving the first 500 guests at each shop a free Original Glazed Dozen, no purchase required.

The Charlotte-based confectionery hopes this will inspire customers to spread kindness by sharing the free treats with others.

"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," Dave Skena, the Global Chief Brand Officer, said in a statement.
