Fox News
National Donut Day is turning 85 this year. The day was established in Chicago in 1938 to honor the work of the "Donut Lassies" who served donuts to the troops in WWI.
"Some people may not know that when they’re eating a donut on the first Friday of June each year, it’s more than simply a food holiday: It’s a recognition of selfless volunteers who serve people in need," the release also said. The "Donut Lassies" served up to 9,000 donuts to the troops each day. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
