Donut lovers, mark your calendars—National Donut Day is coming up on June 7! Celebrate with free, discounted, or specialty-flavored donuts at shops across the U.S.
National Donut Day has been observed every year on the first Friday in June since 1938. The day honors The Salvation Army Donut Lassies, women who set up field bases and provided materials and baked goods to soldiers during World War I. Their efforts helped popularize donuts in the U.S. after the war.
Today, major chains like Dunkin’ and Krispy Kreme celebrate National Donut Day with free food and special deals. Be sure to check with your favorite local donut shop to see what offers they have in store as well!
