Free Donuts For National Donut Day: Where In Waltham?

Dunkin Donuts is offering a free classic donut if you buy a coffee. Anybody need a coffee?

WALTHAM, MA — Did someone say "Free Donut" ? Why yes, yes they did. Today is National Doughnut Day, which it turns out is not a completely made up holiday. And in honor of it a number of companies are celebrating with free doughy goodness.

The Chicago Salvation Army established the "holiday" in 1938 to honor women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. The holiday is traditionally celebrated on the first Friday of June, according to Dunkin' Donuts. And speaking of Dunks, they're into this holiday, as you can imagine and seem to be the only folks participating in holiday doughnut give-a-way in Waltham. (If you know of another spot send us note):

Dunkin’ Donuts is offering customers a free classic doughnut of their choice with the purchase of any beverage until the doughnuts run out. The offer is good all day on June 2 in store and through On-the-Go Mobile Ordering at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide.

Also, the fun doesn't stop there, folks. If you're on SnapChat you, too, can turn your face into a donut with a special brand Snapchat Lens celebrating the holiday. There's also a National Donut Day Snapchat Geofilter, available all day in or around all Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants. What more could a doughnut lover want?
