Today is June 7th - National Doughnut Day! Did you know there's an actual STORY to the history of National Donut Day?
National Doughnut Day was established back in 1938 by the Chicago branch of the Salvation Army as a way to honor the women - known as “Donut Lassies” - who used the minimal resources they had to make doughnuts for soldiers during World War I.
