Happy World Kindness Day! In honor of the global holiday, Krispy Kreme is giving out free dozens of doughnuts.

“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,” Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme Global Chief Brand Officer, said in a press release. “We hope that each dozen Original Glazed doughnuts we give away enables and inspires many dozens of small acts of kindness.”

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, the first 500 customers who visit Krispy Kreme shops can receive a dozen original glazed doughnuts for free, no purchase required.

World Kindness Day was founded as an international holiday in 1998, to promote both big and small acts of kindness around the world, per National Today.
