National Donut Day
National Donut Day takes place on the first Friday in June. The Salvation Army established the event in 1938 to recognize the volunteers known as the Donut Lassies, who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I.
Eat local idea: Buy a few favorites from an independent doughnut shop and share them with someone who could use a little encouragement.
Date note: This observance moves each year. It was June 5 in 2026 and will be June 4 in 2027.
