Today is one of the sweetest days of the year and you definitely "donut" want to miss out!
June 7 is National Donut Day and stores across the country are celebrating with delicious deals and freebies.
Before we dig in, let's take a look at how this food holiday got its start.
The first-ever National Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938 in honor of the Salvation Army Lassies, who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI. The Lassies set up field bases near front lines to try to boost morale among troops. In makeshift huts, thousands of soldiers would come to stock up on essential goods and grab a sweet treat baked by the Lassies.
Today, we celebrate by enjoying our favorite donut on the first Friday in June.
