Donut Day Deals 2024: Celebrate with Sweet Savings!
National Donut Day has its roots in World War I when the Salvation Army sent women known as "Donut Lassies" to serve donuts and coffee to soldiers on the front lines. This act of kindness provided comfort and a taste of home to the troops. The first National Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938 as a way to raise funds for the Salvation Army and honor the contributions of these women.
Over the years, National Donut Day has grown in popularity, with bakeries and coffee shops across the United States joining in the celebration. The day is now recognized as a fun and delicious occasion to enjoy donuts while supporting local businesses.
