Go And Celebrate National Donut Day Friday, June 3rd!

Wondering where you can celebrate National Donut Day? Celebrated on the first Friday of June, this day was originally started by Salvation Army in Chicago as a way to honor their members who assisted in WWI by serving donuts to the troops. There are a few places in Greenville where you can grab some donut deals in celebration of National Donut Day.

We recommend checking with your nearest location to ensure that they are participating. In years past, there was local participation.

Greenville Area Locally-Owned Doughnut Shops

You can even show your kids how intelligent you are by telling them some fun facts such as:

• National Doughnut Day commemorates the “donut lassies,” female Salvation Army volunteers who provided donuts to soldiers on the front lines in WWI.
• Donuts were actually fried in soldiers’ helmets! (Talk about using what you have!)
  -The donuts were fried seven at a time.
  -The Salvation Army started National Donut Day during the Great Depression. This was a way to raise funds and bring awareness to The Salvation Army’s social service programs.
• Rations were poor, so the donut idea was conceived as a means of bringing the soldiers cheer.
