Established in 1938 by The Salvation Army, this day honors the Donut Lassies which served donuts and snacks to soldiers in France during World War I. This historical tradition has evolved into a delightful occasion for donut lovers to enjoy sweet deals, bargains, and special treats across various donut shops and chains.
