National Doughnut Day is an annual celebration that takes place on the first Friday in June. This day provides an opportunity to celebrate our favorite dessert. It was founded by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the people who served doughnuts to troops during the First World War. You can celebrate National Doughnut Day by buying your favorite doughnuts. You can also make some at home and if you are feeling experimental this is the day to try a new recipe. Moreover, you might want to consider sending a dozen or two to your favorite charity.
