Front-line workers will receive a free tall brewed hot or iced coffee through Dec. 31, the company announced Tuesday.

Front-line workers include doctors, nurses, public health workers, pharmacists, dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics, police officers, dentists and dental hygienists, mental health workers, hospital staff and active-duty military members.

To receive the free coffee go to any Starbucks store and identify yourself as a front-line worker.

"It has been an extraordinarily difficult year, especially for the front-line responders who are serving our communities," said Starbucks vice president Virginia Tenpenny in a statement. "We want to show our deep gratitude for those who support and protect us every day with a small gesture of kindness and a cup of coffee."
