National Donut Day: Here's how you can grab freebies from Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons & more

June 7, National Donut Day, is a day dedicated to more than simply sugary treats. National Donut Day is unique among the many food-related holidays, such as National Wine Day and National Hamburger Day, since it has a deep historical significance that enhances the enjoyment of the festival.

What’s the history behind celebrating National Donut Day?

As per the reports of USA Today, in commemoration of the Salvation Army's Donut Lassies, the first Friday in June is celebrated as National Donut Day, an occasion that dates back to 1938.

During World War I, these brave women travelled to France to provide soldiers on the front lines with refreshments like donuts. Their efforts not only gave the soldiers comfort and a sense of home, but they also produced a lasting legacy that we commemorate on the first Friday of June.
