National Donut Day, which happens on Friday, June 2, gives us a reason to devour a donut or two — like we need one — and get a bargain in the process.

But there's also a charitable origin story into how the first Friday in June became known as National Donut Day: The Salvation Army in 1938 established it to honor the organization's Donut Lassies, women who traveled to France to serve donuts and other snacks to soldiers during World War I.

Now all of us can celebrate and get free donuts (while supplies last) at the nation's biggest chains including Dunkin', Krispy Kreme and Duck Donuts — and many other makers of donuts, or "doughnuts," if you prefer.
