Teacher or Nurse Appreciation Week 2026 Update

Last updated May 5th, 2026 

Shipley Donuts Is Not Offering a Free Donut Promotion for Teacher or Nurse Appreciation Week 2026

Shipley Donuts celebrated teachers and nurses with a special free donut promotion in 2025, and we were overwhelmed by the love and gratitude shown by those incredible communities. However, we want to be clear:

Shipley Donuts is not running a free donut promotion for Teacher Appreciation Week or National Nurses Week in 2026.

Several media outlets have continued to circulate incorrect information about our 2025 promotion, and we understand the confusion this has caused. We appreciate your patience and want to make sure our guests always have accurate information before making a trip to their nearest location.

While there is no appreciation promotion this year, we invite teachers, nurses, and everyone who serves our communities to visit us, explore our 60+ handcrafted donut varieties, and join our loyalty rewards program for ongoing perks and surprises throughout the year.
