DID YOU KNOW? National Donut Day has a long history, dating back to the first World War when a pair of resourceful women working on the frontlines with the Salvation Army decided to boost the spirits of troops with some homemade cooking. Supplies were limited, but they had what they needed to hand make rings of dough and fry them up over the fire. Just the aroma of donuts cooking was enough to brighten the mood for homesick soldiers. The women became known as the ‘Donut Lassies’ and The Salvos celebrated the first National Donut Day in Chicago in 1938 in their honour. Now it’s celebrated the first Friday in June every year.
