Doughnuts! Doughnuts everywhere!! June 3 marks National Doughnut Day 2016 and the sweet (or savory) bakery treat will likely be emglazeoned all over your social media feed – not too mention work desk. To help celebrate, here’s a little history behind the commemoration as well as a list of all the places to get your sweets fix. Did you know that National Doughnut Day was actually started as a wartime celebration? During World War I, Army soldiers serving in France were provided the complimentary sweet treat with a cup of coffee by the Salvation Army’s “doughnut lassies.” One food historian credits the Salvation Army for making the doughnut a beloved household item. National Doughnut Day was later started by the Salvation Army during the Great Depression as a way to commemorate the “lassies” who volunteered during the war and as a way to raise funds and bring awareness to the volunteer group’s social service programs and to remind people the benefits of volunteering. Now that you know where National Doughnut Day came from, where can you get your hands on a free doughnut? Here are the best deals.
