Starting Thursday at 1 p.m. EST, health care workers can sign up to receive a burrito and food will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

With National Nurse Day just a week away, Chipotle wants to make sure that health care workers know that their hard work is valued.

“Given the events of the past year, we are once again bringing our fans together to show appreciation for the heroic efforts of the healthcare community,” said Chief Marketing Officer Chris Brandt in a press release.

Chipotle is also inviting the community to show their appreciation on a virtual thank you wall.

To participate, you can comment and tag a healthcare hero on Chipotle’s Twitter and/or Facebook.
