Happy National Donut Day, readers!
Donuts were invented in World War I by Salvation Army volunteers who helped wounded soldiers. They noticed that the soldiers were very homesick and decided to make a dessert that was simple and delicious. Since they didn't have access to many ingredients, they had to make something out of flour, sugar and oil, and the donut was born!
National Donut Day was proclaimed during the Great Depression. The Salvation Army needed an event to raise their funds, and the people's spirits, and they decided to have a donut sale once a year. This event was so successful that it was made into a national holiday for donuts!
