Quick History: Why Do We Even Celebrate National Doughnut Day?
The holiday actually dates back to 1938! It was started by the Salvation Army in Chicago to honour women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI. The idea was to bring comfort during hard times—kind of like what a doughnut still does today.
It’s now a fun annual tradition, usually celebrated on the first Friday of June, with free treats and joy across the U.S.
