Today is National Donut Day. The holiday began as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army in 1938. It is celebrated annually on the first Friday of June, and honors all the female volunteers who served donuts to soldiers behind the front lines during World War I.
(And if you hurry maybe Ben will be working at your local drive thru.)
To celebrate Donut Day 2026, a few donut shops are offering a free donut deal. Celebrate at Krispy Kreme with a free donut of any variety, or at Dunkin’ Donuts which is offering a free donut with the purchase of any beverage.
