Yum! National Donut Day 2010 Means Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts Freebies
While we’re still a bit partial to Free Macaron Day, National Donut Day 2010 looks like it will be a worthy competitor.
The biggest names in donuts – Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts, are only 2 of many donut makers participating in the 72-year-old event. The first Donut Day took place in 1938 and honored the women who served donuts to soldiers in World War I. Started by the Chicago Salvation Army, the fundraiser is still one of the organization’s most popular events.
If you’re in Chicago, Donut Day taggers will collect donations to benefit programs that feed children, seniors, the homeless and needy families in the Chicagoland area. And if you’re not in Chicago? Well, just enjoy the free donut, and in the spirit of the day think about giving one to someone else.
