Where to Get a Free Donut in Tuscaloosa for National Donut Day

On the first Friday in June each year we celebrate National Donut Day, or as it's more commonly known, 'Free Donut Day.'

This Friday will be no different as dough ring lovers across the United States will line up to calm their sweet tooth and to cover their fingers in sticky goodness.

According to a description found on WikiPedia,

National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for Chicago's The Salvation Army. Their goal was to help those in need during the Great Depression, and to honor The Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers.

In Chicago, National Doughnut Day is still a fundraiser for The Salvation Army.

Of course, not every place that sells donuts is participating but here's our list of free donut deals from several popular chains in Tuscaloosa:
