Krispy Kreme is gifting free boxes of doughnuts to leave on neighbours doorsteps

Do you want to show a neighbour you care or leave a little care package of doughnuts on the doorstep of someone you’re missing? Well Krispy Kreme has just the thing you’ve been looking for.

Leaving homemade bakes on doorsteps has been a popular quarantine gesture of kindness and now Krispy Kreme is offering the chance to surprise a neighbour with its doughnuts. Krispy Kreme will gift every purchase of its Original Glazed dozen box of doughnuts with another Original Glazed dozen free, so you can gift a box to a neighbour or local key worker.

How cute is that? A boxes of Original Glazed Dozen will set you back £14.95 with another dozen to give away for free this weekend.

The offer will be available on all purchases of Original Glazed dozen boxes on Saturday 16th May, via the UberEats app for one day only.

In these times of separation and social distancing, communities and neighbourhoods have been inspired to connect and come together, with many dropping off groceries to strangers, waving from doorways while clapping for carers and exchanging greetings on daily walks.

Krispy Kreme’s CEO Richard Cheshire said: "At Krispy Kreme we have an ongoing mission to ‘Serve Smiles’ and bring small moments of joy with our sweet treats – so this week we would like to help our customers bring a smile to a neighbour in their community, with a dozen of our signature Original Glazed doughnuts."

For safe, contactless delivery to neighbours, Krispy Kreme recommends that people coincide gifting any packages while out on daily walks; wash hands before handling the box and place them on neighbours’ doorsteps before knocking and stepping back two metres.

If this is something you take part in this weekend, why not share your snaps and stories of you brightening your neighbour’s day by tagging @KrispyKremeUK #DoSomethingGoodForYourNeighbourDay #ServingSmiles to raise awareness to others to do too.

This April Krispy Kreme also launched its mission to serve half a million smiles via contactless doughnut drops to NHS hospitals, charities, food banks, police stations and community heroes, as well as opening its drive-thrus for NHS, police and fire services and recruiting a volunteer staff team to deliver to local neighbourhood heroes. So far it has successfully and safely served 450,000 smiles to frontline and community causes.
