National Donut Day, which falls on Friday, June 2, gives us a reason to devour a donut or two—like we need one—and get a bargain in the process.
But there’s also a philanthropic origin story about how the first Friday in June came to be known as National Donut Day: The army is salvation In 1938 it was established to honor Donut Lassies, the women who traveled to France to provide donuts and other snacks to soldiers during World War I.
Now we can all party and get free donuts (while supplies last) at the nation’s biggest chains including Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, and duck donut – and several muffin makers, or “muffins,” if you prefer.
