National Donut Day 2024: Get Free Donuts from Dunkin, Krispy Kreme & More

National Donut Day on June 7 offers free, discounted, and specialty donuts at stores across the U.S. Donut lovers rejoice!

Donut enthusiasts, rejoice! National Donut Day is here, celebrated this year on June 7 with an array of deals for free, discounted, or specialty-flavored donuts at stores all across the United States. This tradition dates back to 1938 when Americans began celebrating National Donut Day on the first Friday in June to honor The Salvation Army Donut Lassies. These remarkable women set up field bases during World War I, providing baked goods and materials to soldiers. They are credited with popularizing donuts in the U.S. after the war.

Today, various chains and franchises, including Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme, join in the celebration by offering free food and deals. Be sure to also check out your favorite local donut shop for special promotions.

Luis Wilhite, a barista and donut engineer at North Lime Coffee & Donuts in Kentucky, sums it up perfectly, "Everyone just loves donuts. They just make you happy."
