June 7 marks National Donut Day, a celebration that goes beyond delicious treats. Unlike other food-related holidays, such as National Wine Day or National Hamburger Day, National Donut Day holds historical significance dating back to 1938.
The origins of National Donut Day trace back to the efforts of the Salvation Army’s Donut Lassies during World War I. These courageous women provided donuts to soldiers on the front lines in France, making this day a tribute to their service.
