June 3rd is probably my favorite day of the year for one reason – it’s National Donut Day. Not only does this mean we’re celebrating my all-time favorite food all around the country, but it also means that tons of my favorite donut shops are giving out free donuts – yes, you heard me, FREE donuts.
National Donut first began in 1938 when Salvation Army gave out free donuts to soldiers during WWI. While the day doesn’t have quite as much meaning now, we still use it as an excuse to eat a couple too many donuts because, hey, who wouldn’t want a free dessert?
