Sharing is caring!
National Donut Day — or National Doughnut Day, as some spell it — is the first Friday in June. According to a press release from LaMars, the observance was started in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army in honor of the women who brought donuts to soldiers behind the front lines in World War I.
This year, National Donut Day is on Friday, June 6, 2025. We already know about a couple of national donut chains that are observing the delicious holiday by offering a FREE donut to customers.
Another way to celebrate is to visit one of Wichita’s favorite local sweet shops!

Hello, love your emails and what you do!!
Just wanted to let you know that one of the doughnut shops you mentioned in your story in National Doughnut day, The Doughnut Whole, is unfortunately, permanently closed.
Thanks so much! I got it updated. Always appreciate the help.
Donut Palace

Has wonderful donuts, not sure if they have any specials though.
Thank you for recommending it!
I’m having trouble finding the LaMar’s coupon to print. Help please. Thank you!
Hi Carol. It looks like they changed the link on me. 🙂 I’m sorry – this is the right one for this year: http://www.lamars.com/salvationarmy/
When you get to that page on the LaMars website, scroll down until you see the line “Click here to get your Golden Ticket for a free donut.” (Or words to that effect.
That will let you print the coupon or show it on your phone on June 1 for a free donut.
