<p>Celebrated each year on the first Friday in June, National Doughnut Day started 75 years ago as a fundraising effort for the Salvation Army. Since then, many national chains have been giving away free doughnuts. While you likely won't get a free maple bacon donut from esteems bakeries like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dynamodonut">Dynamo</a>, you can still get a raging sugar high at some places for free. </p>

<p>• Noted doughnut maker <strong>Krispy Kreme</strong> is offering free doughnut with no purchase necessary today. You can find your closest Krispy Kreme <a href="http://locations.krispykreme.com/">here</a>.</p>

<p>• <strong>Dunkin Donuts</strong> is giving away freebies all day, but WE DO'T HAVE ANY IN THE BAY AREA. So... sorry. </p>

<p>And that's about it. Shame on you, Bay Area. Anyway, some local shops are also participating in their own special way. </p>

<p>Other ways to celebrate National Doughnut Day:</p>

<p>• Also, though you won't score any free sweet treats, through June 15, Entenmann's will donate $1 to the Salvation Army for every person who "likes" the <strong>Entenmann's</strong> Facebook Page.</p>

<p>• Use <a href="https://www.taskrabbit.com/p/signup"><strong>TaskRabbit</strong></a> to have doughnut delivered to your office. Your employees will love you forever! </p>

<p>Check back later this morning for a full review of local amazing doughnutry.

Wee! Every first Friday of June, "National Doughnut Day honors the Salvation Army "Lassies" of WWI. It is also used as a fund raiser for needy causes of the Salvation Army." </p>

<p>Aw.</p>

<p>But it's not a holiday if you don't get something sweet for free, so check out the location of your <a href="http://web.sa.mapquest.com/krispykreme/?transaction=search&amp;radius=999&amp;city=san+francisco&amp;stateProvince=ca&amp;postalCode=&amp;country=US&amp;x=6&amp;y=15">nearest Krispy Kreme</a>.
