Today is National Donut Day, and it has a sweet history with the Salvation Army
The first Friday of June is National Donut Day, but did you know the history behind it dates back to just a year before World War II?
The Salvation Army established National Donut Day in 1938 to honor The Salvation Army’s “Donut Lassies,” who made history when they risked their lives to raise spirits and fuel hope by serving thousands of soldiers during WWI, in part by delivering donuts and other sweet treats to those in the war.
