National Doughnut Day

I am okay with any day that gives out freebies and here is where you can pick up some sweet treats. National Doughnut day occurs on the very first Friday of every June. This year it is on June 7th.

Another donut holiday happens in November. However, the one in June has a clearer history — and the best deals.

Some FUN History

National Donut Day was first celebrated by The Salvation Army in Chicago in June 1938 to help raise needed funds during the Great Depression and commemorate the work of the “donut lassies” who helped make the donut what it is today by feeding the tasty confection to American soldiers during World War I.

The donuts became synonymous with The Salvation Army, as well as the American soldiers who were returning home with the nickname, “doughboys.”
