National Donut Day, celebrated annually on the first Friday of June, was established by The Salvation Army in Chicago during the Great Depression. It was created to honor the 'Donut Lassies'—volunteers who served doughnuts to soldiers on the front lines during World War I, according to a press release from the organization. Today, the tradition lives on as the Salvation Army uses the occasion to raise awareness about its veteran support programs. 'National Donut Day is a moment to reflect on a unique part of history and to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our nation,' said Salvation Army Commissioner Merle Heatwole. 'Their courage and commitment to service embody the heart of our mission and inspire our ongoing work in communities nationwide.'

Tech mogul drops big hint on X The doughnut's origins trace back to early Dutch settlers in North America, who brought with them 'olykoeks,' or oily cakes—fried dough balls that didn't yet feature the familiar hole. That defining feature is credited to American sailor Hanson Gregory, who reportedly punched a hole in the center of the dough in the mid-1800s to ensure more even cooking. Originally launched as a fundraising event 87 years ago, National Donut Day has since become a beloved fixture among America's many food-related celebrations.
