Krispy Kreme has announced a new promotion in partnership with the American Red Cross (ARC) where blood donors are eligible to claim a free dozen donuts. With January being "National Blood Donor Month," and the current pandemic conditions leading to a large blood shortage for the ARC, this collaboration is intended to bring blood into the veins of those who need it most.
Blood donors who donate blood between January 24th and 31st will be able to show their blood donor sticker or blood donation confirmation at any participating Krispy Kreme location to receive a free dozen of the brand's 'Original Glazed' donuts. With the cold weather also slowing donations, the ARC has stated that this collaboration is intended to give individuals "dozens more reasons" to go out and donate blood while people need it most.
