There’s no denying the delightful allure of National Donut Day 2024, set to be celebrated this year on Friday, June 7.
Unlike many other food-related “holidays,” National Donut Day boasts a rich history, originating in 1938 when The Salvation Army established the first Friday in June to honor their “Donut Lassies”. These women bravely traveled to France during World War I to provide donuts and comfort to soldiers, creating a legacy that continues to be celebrated.
