🍩 Did You Know?
National Donut Day was established by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the "Donut Lassies," the brave women who served donuts, comfort, and encouragement to soldiers on the front lines during World War I.
More than a sweet treat, a donut became a symbol of hope, compassion, and care during difficult times.
Today, we continue that same mission by serving our neighbors through food assistance, shelter, disaster relief, youth programs, and so much more.
National Donut Day is celebrated all over the country on the first Friday in June!
