National Donut Day (or Doughnuts) is celebrated on the first Friday of June every year. The day marks the significance of the happy meal during World War I. And this year 2024 it falls on June 7.
The celebration of the favourite treat of Barack Obama, Homer Simpson, and the cops, is traced to the Salvation Army’s involvement in World War I. The volunteers at the frontlines of war chose donuts as the most hassle-free meal. It is said that these volunteers even use war helmets as a utensil to fry up seven donuts at a time. These brave volunteers were later known as “donut lassies“.
Later, in 1938, National Donut Day was established to honour the members of the Salvation Army, who risked their lives to the aid of soldiers during World War I.

History:
During the first World War, millions of US men and women served in the war. With conflicts happening in multiple countries, it was extremely difficult for the people fighting at the front lines. In 1917, a group of women were sent to the front lines in France by the Salvation Army. This was done with the intention of boosting the morale of the soldiers. They set up makeshift huts where the soldiers could stock up their necessities and get small breaks during fighting. During this time, these women started distributing a baked sweet among the soldiers. These donuts were baked inside the helmets of the soldiers and were known as doughboys. Later, donuts became a favourite dish of millions all across the world.
Significance:
