National Donut Day, which is June 6, can be traced to the Salvation Army’s involvement in World War I. During that time, a group of volunteers were dispatched to the frontlines with the mission of providing comforting meals for the troops. These brave volunteers would later be known as “donut lassies.” In 1938, National Donut Day was established as a way to honor the members of the Salvation Army who came to the aid of soldiers during World War I. Nowadays, National Donut Day is widely celebrated on the first Friday of June.
