Sprinkles of History: The Sweet Story Behind National Donut Day
Waco, TX (FOX 44) — It's more than free treats! We celebrate with sprinkles, history, and sweet deals across the country. National Donut Day was started in 1938 by Chicago's Salvation Army in order to honor the Donut Lassies that began serving during World War One. 'They served the men on the front line that were nervous, are scared about their days, and they brought them rations and spiritual advice,' Salvation Army Volunteer Special Events and PR Coordinator Sarah Femister said. 'Then by the end of it, there was nothing left but to make donuts. And they even fried them in the helmets, or anything they could find.' The reason behind using donuts was because they were cheap and a common comfort food. 'It was something sweet that could remind the men of home and hope and everything was going to be all right,' Femister said This year, donut shops are making sweet deals for National Donut Day. 'We released two new seasonal flavors – is going to be our Fruity Pebbles and our Lemonade,' Nightlight Donuts and Coffee General Manager Patricia Sidbury said. 'It's been pretty popular today, and we're offering 20 percent off of all donuts today, as well.' 'Everybody gets a free donut today, and with a free beverage,' Dunkin employees Amya Harper and Kimberly Starts said. The Salvation Army partnered up with local donut stores for National Donut Day to make everyone's day a little sweeter. 'This year we were lucky enough to partner with H-E-B here in town….and a few of our Shipley's to help us get donuts and donut holes to all of our first responders and community partners around Waco,' Feimster said. If you're taking advantage of the donut deals today, make sure to thank the Donut Lassies that inspired the holiday. The donut remains a lasting symbol of the Salvation Army's comforting support of our soldiers during both World Wars. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Fish with a Warden' lets aspiring anglers ask questions
VERMONT (ABC22/FOX44) – Vermonters who want a bit more confidence in their fishing skills might just need to ask an expert. Vermont Fish and Wildlife is offering four evening sessions where new anglers, or experienced anglers who need a refresher, can go out fishing with one of their game wardens and ask for tips, learn about different types of fish, or figure out fishing regulations. Fish & Wildlife announces statewide Summer Free Fishing Day this June Education specialist Corey Hart says the purpose of the sessions is to give the public a chance to have their fishing questions answered. 'We know many anglers have questions they would like to ask a warden, and we know many of our wardens also like to go fishing, so our Vermont State Game Wardens have teamed up with Forests, Parks and Recreation staff to offer Fish with a Warden sessions this summer.' Interested people will need to bring a fishing license and their own fishing equipment, and pre-register online at VT F&W's website. People who have registered for the program at a state park get to enter that park free while attending the session. How to protect nesting loons and their chicks The four sessions are scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. and will each last an hour or possibly longer. The dates are: June 26 – Kill Kare State Park in St. Albans July 24 – Shaftsbury State Park in Shaftsbury August 7 – Ricker Mills State Forest in Groton August 21 – Little River Dam in Waterbury Each session is limited to 30 people.
