National Doughnut Day began in 1938 by the Salvation Army in Chicago, as a way to honor the women called “Doughnut Girls” who delivered tasty treats and assistance to troops during World War I — all while dodging bombs on the battlefield.
National Doughnut Day is here, and shops across the D.C. area are celebrating with free goodies and deals.
