As the coronavirus pandemic continues to hit the United States, companies throughout the country are stepping up to provide goods for Americans on and off the front lines.

A number of fast-food chains are pitching in with free food.

Burger King

Burger King is giving away free Whoppers to people who see the company’s interactive QR code in commercials. When viewers scan the QR code displayed on their TV, according to the company, they will then be able to claim their free Whopper through the Burger King app, which can be applied to a future purchase.

"We are all locked at home. So why not gamify even what would otherwise be an ordinary TV spot? That was the thinking behind the “QR Whopper” campaign," a Burger King spokesperson told FOX Business.

The giveaway, which the company is calling “GroupNug,” will go into effect Friday. The four-piece order will be available to “every car that rolls through the drive-thru," according to the fast-casual chain.

“Wendy's restaurant teams across the nation have been living out one of Wendy's most important values – Do the Right Thing – by helping their communities wherever they can during this unprecedented time,” Wendy's U.S. Chief Marketing Officer Carl Loredo said in a statement. “These actions shine a light on so many individuals both in Wendy's and across the nation doing good for others. We want to show our appreciation with GroupNug.”
