One of the best food holidays of the year falls on the first Friday of June every single year: National Donut Day! And yes, it is absolutely worth celebrating. The history behind the holiday is actually pretty sweet, too. National Donut Day traces back to WWI, when Salvation Army volunteers known as the Doughnut Lassies served doughnuts to soldiers stationed in France. The first official celebration was held during the Great Depression to honor those women and help raise funds for families in need. Now we use it as a delicious excuse to visit our favorite local bakeries, but knowing the history makes it a little more meaningful! In 2026, National Donut Day falls on Friday, June 5th.
