National Donut Day!

Today is National Donut Day! National Donut Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday of June. It was devised by the Salvation Army in 1938, to commemorate when female Salvation Army volunteers handed out doughnuts to soldiers on the front lines during World War I. [1]

Celebrate with a free donut at Dunkin' Donuts, with any beverage purchase. If you can find a Krispy Kreme, you can get one free, no strings attached.

Interested in making your own? Come on up to the third floor and browse our cookbooks (call numbers 641-641.9). You can even find gluten-free!
