How health care workers can get free Chipotle to celebrate National Nurses Week
To celebrate National Nurses Week in May, Chipotle is awarding lucky health care workers with free meals for them and their team.
The Mexican chain said Thursday that 2,000 winners will get a Burrito Care Package with 50 entree codes for their team, equivalent to more than $1 million in free food.
Health care professionals, including nurses, dentists, therapists, pharmacists and others, can enter the sweepstakes here starting Thursday. Submissions close May 12, and Chipotle will start to reach out to winners directly by May 19.
"Given the demands placed on the health care community every day, we know finding time to bond, celebrate, or even eat as a team can be challenging," Chris Brandt, chief marketing officer at Chipotle, said in a statement. "The Burrito Care Packages offer a convenient opportunity for healthcare units to come together and share a delicious meal on us."
Chipotle said it has given away more than $4 million in free food to medical workers over the past several years.
