Keith Jacques from Donut Express

Keith Jacques is an absolute legend. He should be well supported for his heroic actions in feeding the masses at the protest.

Donut Express, unlike most other businesses, moved closer to the protesters by setting up a food truck on Molesworth St and giving away free doughnuts.

General manager of Donut Express Keith Jaques said his staff were giving away free doughnuts to “anyone that’s hungry”.

Jaques said a “call went out [on social media] for anyone who wanted to provide support” and they responded.

“I don’t know the details of what the protest is about. From our point of view we’re just giving back to the community,” Jaques said. All of his staff were vaccinated and wearing masks, he said.

His staff had not been subject to any abuse for wearing masks by protesters, but he said someone might have made “a little sheep noise” towards the workers.
