“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,” Skena said.
“We hope that each dozen Original Glazed doughnuts we give away enables and inspires many dozens of small acts of kindness.”
Customers who get a box have been encouraged to tag the coffeehouse on social alongside #KrispyKreme.
