The History of National Doughnut Day
- The Salvation Army started National Doughnut Day in 1938. The day pays tribute to the “doughnut lassies,” which were female Salvation Army volunteers who provided the treats to soldiers on the front lines during World War I as a morale booster.
- With restricted resources, these treats were fried—seven at a time. The lassies fried the doughnuts in soldiers’ helmets.
- Today, The Salvation Army still plays an active role in supporting Doughnut Day. Salvation Army staff and volunteers celebrate the holiday, often by delivering doughnuts and hosting events across the country.
