National Donut Day:
During World War I, The Salvation Army DONUT LASSIES
were American volunteers and Salvation Army officers who fried
dough on the front lines in France. To both honor their service
and raise funds for those affected by the Great Depression, The
Salvation Army established National Donut Day in 1938.
Thank you to the brave men and women of the armed forces and Salvation Army during WWI.
Today is National Donut Day. But it is about so much more than donuts.
