Good news for lovers of deep-fried bread: Friday is National Donut Day.
This annual tribute to the beloved circular pastry falls on the first Friday of June starting 75 years ago when the Salvation Army in Chicago created the holiday to honor women who volunteered to served donuts to soldiers during World War I.
What better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than to indulge in a donut? Many locations are offering free donuts or a donation to the Salvation Army with the purchase of a donut. Below is a list:
