Doughnut fans rejoice, a day recognizing the classic sweet treat is right around the corner and plenty of restaurants are offering discounts and freebies to mark the occasion.
National Doughnut Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June, which falls on June 7 this year. It was created around 86 years ago by the Salvation Army to commemorate their "Donut Lassies." This group of women volunteered with the Salvation Army in 1917, going to France to care for wounded soldiers. They helped boost the troops' morale by making doughnuts.
