A great excuse to find some free food and wear your loose pants. Whether you take them jelly-filled, chocolate coated or just plain glazed, doughnuts are an important part of Americas food pyramid. Theyre the go-to snack for cops, the nightmare of dieticians and the breakfast food most of us can agree upon.
Every year, the first Friday of June marks the celebration of this most wonderful of pastries. Started in 1938 by The Salvation Army, National Doughnut Day started as a fundraiser to help the needy and to honor the women who served doughnuts to the soldiers during World War I.
