To celebrate National Nurses Week, Chipotle is awarding lucky health care workers with free meals for them and their team.
The Mexican chain will award 2,000 winners a “Burrito Care Package” with 50 entrée 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 until May 12. 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, which also has some special discounts for Cinco de Mayo, said it has given away more than $4 million in free food to medical workers over the past several years.
