National Donut Day
National Donut Day! Whether it’s powdered, jelly-filled, or frosted, this classic treat is always delicious, making National Donut Day a great reason to celebrate.National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for Chicago's The Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor The Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers.Soon after the US entrance into World War I in 1917, The
Salvation Army sent a fact-finding mission to France. The mission
concluded that the needs of US enlisted men could be met by
canteens/social centers termed "huts" that could serve baked goods,
provide writing supplies and stamps, and provide a clothes-mending
service. Typically, six staff members per hut would include four female
volunteers who could "mother" the boys. These huts were established by
The Salvation Army in the United States near army training centers.
