In honor of National Donut Day on Friday, June 1, businesses are offering freebies and deals for all donut lovers.
Celebrated annually on the first Friday in June, the day of the pastry was established in 1938 to honor The Salvation Army Donut Lassies, women who served the treats to soldiers during World War I.
“The doughnut was and continues to be a symbol of the comfort and support that The Salvation Army provides to more than 23 million people in need each year,” said Lt. Col. Ward Matthews, Salvation Army secretary for national community relations and development in a statement.
