Dough yourself a favor and mark your calendars for National Donut Day on June 5! The unofficial holiday dates back to 1917 when the Salvation Army’s Doughnut Lassies — a group of women sent to France during World War I to set up field bases near the front lines — made doughnuts for the soldiers in their makeshift huts. The first National Donut Day was celebrated in 1938 in Chicago to honor those brave women, and the tradition is still going strong today.
