WATCH HEREThe annual celebration always happens on the first Friday in June. The first-ever National Doughnut Day took place in Chicago in 1938 to honor the history of the Salvation Army's Donut Lassies. This group of women were sent to France in 1917 to care for wounded soldiers and provide a boost of morale in doughnut form.
Today, many chains throughout the U.S., including Krispy Kreme and Dunkin', mark the day with deals. Here's a list of places where you can score free and discounted doughnuts:
