Krispy Kreme is celebrating first responders with a free doughnut — plus a cup of coffee to wash it down.

Eligible first responders can get an original glazed doughnut and a hot or iced coffee at participating Krispy Kreme shops on Friday, Oct. 28., just in time for National First Responders Day.

Law enforcement officers, paramedics, firefighters and other emergency personnel can redeem the freebie by showing a valid badge or ID. No purchase is necessary.

The Charlotte-based doughnut chain will also treat guests to a free treat on Halloween, according to a news release. Anyone who visits a Krispy Kreme dressed in costume on Monday, Oct. 31, will receive a free doughnut of their choice.

No purchase is required.
