Free Donuts- What?
National Donut Day is June 4th.
National Donut Day started in 1938 by the Salvation Army as a way to thank the “donut lassies”. A “donut lassie” was a female volunteer who would give treats to the soilers on the front lines during World War I as a morale booster. The Salvation Army still participates in National Donut Day, but now requests donations which go towards providing the following programs: food pantries, meals on wheels, senior citizen feeding programs and childcare nutrition programs.
From my experience, on National Donut Day, you can score free donuts at various locations using their deals. I have gotten donuts from Meijers, Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts over the years. We always take a group and are prepared to wait in a long line to pick up our donut. The wait is also part of the fun: waiting, giggling, talking and watching the donuts being made.
National Donut Day is Jun 4th. Krispy Kreme is still following all local COVID rules and regulations, so check with your local shop in order to follow the rules. If you are choosing to participate in this event, please be respectful and responsible. Treat everyone with kindness, courtesy and patience.
In addition to National Donut Day, if you have received the COVID vaccination shot, then you can produce your COVID Vaccination card for 1 free glazed donut.
