National Donut Day

donuts

It's National Donut Day! Or is it d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t? Who knows. 

Did you know that Doughnut Day was established by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honour The Salvation Army’s “Doughnut Lassies"? The "Donut Lassies" served the treats to soldiers during World War I, and are often credited with popularizing the doughnut in the United States when the troops returned home from war. The Salvation Army celebrated the first National Doughnut Day in Chicago in 1938 to help raise funds during the Great Depression and commemorate the work of these women.

The doughnut now serves as a symbol of all the social services The Salvation Army provides to those in need.
