CELEBRATE NATIONAL DONUT DAY!

June 6th – National Donut/Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fundraiser for Chicago’s Salvation Army, with the goal of helping those in need during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “Lassies“ of World War I who served donuts to soldiers to lift their spirits and remind them that they had not been forgotten. The holiday celebrates the donut, and many donut stores in America offer free donuts to customers. This year, national donut day is June 6th, and we’ve “rounded“ up all the local area deals for you, to help you celebrate!
