Free doughnuts for National Donut Day Friday! Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’ extend food holiday with freebies

In some circles, one of the year’s most popular days for doughnut lovers and freebie fans has been extended.

While Friday, June 5 is National Doughnut Day – also known as National Donut Day – Krispy Kreme is celebrating its first “National Doughnut Week” with five days of free treats starting Monday, no purchase necessary. Dunkin’ has three days of deals this year and a contest.

“National Doughnut Day is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate, but with days starting to blur together, we want to make sure it’s easier than ever for fans to participate,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer, in a news release.

On Wednesday, Dunkin' said its #DunkinDonutPartySweepstakes contest giving away free donuts for a year has been cancelled. "With respect to recent events, we have canceled the sweepstakes and will look to do something special for our fans this summer," said Dunkin' in a statement.

The day of the pastry was established in 1938 to honor the Salvation Army Donut Lassies, women who served the treats to soldiers during World War I. It’s traditionally celebrated on the first Friday of June.

This Donut Day, the Salvation Army says it will thank essential workers “on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic by delivering donuts” to healthcare workers and first responders across the country.

A winner is chosen each night through June 18.

To nominate a healthcare worker, make a public post on Instagram or Twitter, using hashtags #StandingDoughnation and #Promotion and by following and tagging @Entenmanns.
