Today was created by the Salvation Army in 1938. During the depression they handed out doughnuts to those who could find little to eat as the country suffered from economic struggles. The day was created to honor the “Lassies” that went to Europe during World War 1 under Lt. Col. Helen Purvianee. They were the only women allowed on the front lines serving doughnuts and coffee to the soldiers of the Allied forces. There is something comforting about a doughnut. Check your local doughnut shops, they may be giving away doughnuts today for free!
