TL;DR
I Heart Mac & Cheese is celebrating National Nurses Month by offering free comfort food and discounts to nurses and nursing students. The brand is giving away one free entrée to each nurse or nursing student on National Nurses Day and 20 percent off every order for the entire month of May.
“This has been a really tough year for so many, but especially for those in our healthcare community, who have worked tirelessly and, in many cases, without the gratitude they truly deserve,” said I Heart Mac & Cheese’s CEO and Chairman, Steve Giordanella. “Nurses have sacrificed so much during the pandemic and we wanted to find even a small way to show just how much we value and appreciate their dedication to the community.”
There are two ways to enjoy I Heart Mac & Cheese’s National Nurses Month perks:
National Nurses Day (Thursday, May 6) - Every I Heart Mac & Cheese location across the country will give one free entrée to each nurse or nursing student who visits.*
National Nurses Month (Entire Month of May) - Nurses and nursing students will receive 20 percent off every order, all month long.**
Those wishing to take advantage of these offers must show a valid nurse or nursing student ID.
