National Donut Day is here.
The holiday, celebrated on the first Friday in June, was established by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the organization’s Donut Lassi and Donut Girls, who traveled to France to provide donuts and other snacks to soldiers during World War I.
“The story of the Donut Lassies is one of extraordinary courage,” Salvation Army National Commander Merle Heatwal said in a news release. “Women who served on the front lines of the world wars demonstrated compassion and courage. On this 88th National Donut Day, we join our nation’s veterans in honoring their remarkable accomplishments and reminding ourselves to bring that same joyful spirit of service to every community we serve.”
According to the Salvation Army, the donut lassies provided spiritual care, necessities and freshly fried donuts to soldiers in makeshift huts, quickly turning the treats into symbols of comfort and joy.
The Salvation Army will be distributing donuts to veterans in several cities across the country, and will also be holding events such as the upcoming National Donut Day World Donut Eating Championship in Washington, D.C.
Across the United States, donut vendors both large and small are also participating in National Donut Day. Dunkin’ and Krispy Kreme, officially known as Donuts, will be giving away free donuts on June 5th.
