Celebrate and get free donuts (while supplies last) at Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme and many other makers of donuts, or “doughnuts,” if you prefer.
National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of June. It began in 1938 to honor members of the Salvation Army who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I in addition to a fundraiser to help those in need during the Great Depression. It honored the Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers.
In the Second World War, Red Cross Volunteers also distributed doughnuts, and it became routine to refer to the Red Cross girls as Doughnut Dollies as well.
Celebrate and get free donuts while supplies last at Dunkin’ and Krispy Kreme and many other makers of donuts, or “doughnuts.”. Call your favorite donut shop to see if it is celebrating and offering Free donuts.
