Yeah! It's National Donut Day.
How did I not know this before? The internet is so educational! In case you hadn't heard, the first Friday in June is National Doughnut Day. And it has been since 1938.
Read more about it on the Salvation Army Blog. Why Salvation Army? I'm glad you asked.
The holiday began with the Salvation Army as a salute to the women who handed out doughnuts to World War I and World War II soldiers. The story goes that "doughnut Lassies" often made the doughnuts in their helmets and used wine bottles as rolling pins. Legend says that doughnuts were practically unheard of in the United States until the "doughboys" came home yearning for more doughnuts.
Celebrate by having a doughnut and donating to The Salvation Army.
