One of the most legit food holidays of the year, National Donut Day, is first Friday in June– aka today, June 5th.
The tradition dates back to 1938, when the Chicago Salvation Army decided to honor women who had served doughnuts, as well as supplies for letters like stamps and pens, and home-cooked meals, to soldiers during World War I. The food holiday now serves as a way raise awareness for the Salvation Army’s social services programs.
To celebrate bakeries across the countries are rolling out some specials to celebrate the deliciously sweet and perfectly fried morsels Homer Simpson just can’t say no to. If you want to load up on a dozen or more, you may have to shell out some dough– get it– but plenty of places are offering donuts absolutely free.
We called the following locations and are participating in national donut day.
