Krispy Kreme is making it easy to be kind — and sweet too.

The doughnut chain will give away a dozen glazed doughnuts to the first 500 customers at participating locations on Wednesday for World Kindness Day, Krispy Kreme announced.

“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,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme’s global chief brand officer. “We hope that each dozen Original Glazed doughnuts we give away enables and inspires many dozens of small acts of kindness.”

No purchase is necessary to score the free dozen doughnuts, according to the news release. The offer is good in-store and drive-thru at participating Krispy Kremes.

What is World Kindness Day?

World Kindness Day was launched in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, an NGO whose mission is to inspire people and “connect nations to create a kinder world.” Celebrated on Nov. 13 annually, World Kindness Day is an opportunity for people to promote kindness toward themselves, each other, and the world, said the nonprofit The Kindness Campaign.
