National Donut Day 2020: Free Donuts from Krispy Kreme, Duck Donuts, Dunkin' and More
By Kim HumphreyPosted May 29, 2020
Sweet treat lovers, rejoice! National Donut Day (or is it doughnut?) is Friday, June 5! Many retailers celebrate this joyous occasion by bestowing freebies and delicious deals on their customers. Lucky us!
Believe it or not, there is real history behind this celebration of deliciousness that is observed annually on the first Friday in June. It was first established in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Salvation Army in Chicago to honor the Salvation Army "Lassies" who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. The Salvation Army continues to celebrate their work today by delivering donuts to those in need and hosting fun activities across the country.
Check out this list of National Donut Day deals and freebies that you can score this year!
