These days we're thanking medical staff more than ever, and a coffee chain is continuing the thanks by giving all healthcare professionals free goodies for National Nurses Day.

Healthcare workers can swing by any Dunkin' Donuts on May 6 for a free medium hot or iced coffee and a free donut, no purchase necessary.

"As a brand with a long heritage of serving those who serve, we appreciate and honor the heroic work and unwavering commitment nurses and healthcare professionals show every day," Dunkin' CEO Dave Hoffmann said. "Their selfless sacrifices inspire all of us to come together to do everything we can to support our communities. We want people on the frontlines to know that we have their backs and they can count on Dunkin’ to help keep them running."

Last month, Dunkin' eliminated all dine-in options to prevent customers from congregating inside. Drive-thru, carry-out, curbside pick-up and delivery (at select locations) is still available.

Along with offering this in-store offer for healthcare professionals on May 6, the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation announced a $200,000 grant to First Descents, which will support healthcare workers experiencing trauma.

"Doctors, nurses, and first responders are on the front lines of the most devastating health crisis of our generation,” First Descent's Executive Director Ryan O'Donoghue said. “In partnership with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, our goal is to address this trauma through unforgettable outdoor adventures that will nurture supportive peer relationships and give these heroes the respite and renewal they deserve."
