History of National Doughnut Day
National Doughnut Day started in 1938 by the Salvation Army.
The purpose was to honor the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War 1 and as a fundraiser for the Chicago Salvation Army.
The fundraiser part was created to help those in need during the Great Depression.
The Salvation Army still participates in National Doughnut Day by hosting events and delivering donuts across the country. This year they are supplying donuts to hospital workers who have been on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Final Thoughts on National Donut Day
There are so many national days that many are silly, but I can always get behind grabbing a few free doughnuts.
If you know of any store that sells donuts, make sure to check with them to see if they are participating.
