Order Here! Mark Your Calendars: Friday, June 5, Is National Donut Day! Kids News Article. If you are looking for an excuse to indulge in a donut or two, here is a perfect one.
Friday, June 5, 2020, is National Donut Day, which means it is your civic duty to devour one — or even a dozen — of the fried treats. Observed annually on the first Friday of June, the yummy holiday was not established by donut manufacturers to boost sales, but by Salvation Army volunteers to raise funds for the poor. The Salvation Army's association with donuts began in 1917 when four women volunteers were dispatched to France to tend to injured World War I soldiers.
To lift the spirits of the homesick and miserable troops, Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance decided to use the limited ingredients at their disposal — flour, sugar, lard, baking powder, cinnamon, and canned milk — to make donuts. Preparing the treats was no easy task. Among them is Krispy Kreme, which has traditionally offered a free donut to all customers on National Donut Day.
