Krispy Kreme offering free donuts for Mardi Gras beads
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – Krispy Kreme is offering free donuts in exchange for Mardi Gras beads at one location in Baton Rouge.
People can receive a coupon for a free dozen Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts for every 12 pounds of beads they bring to the location on Plank Road from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on March 5 or March 6.
The annual bead drive benefits The Arc of Greater New Orleans (ArcGNO) and Augusta Evans School in Mobile, Alabama. These organizations employ those with intellectual and developmental disabilities who recycle Mardi Gras beads.
Coupons for the doughnuts can be redeemed at participating shops until April 15, according to an official press release.
