===History of Doughnut Day===
In 1917, over 250 Salvation Army volunteers went to soldiers' camps in France during World War I  to provide supplies and baked goods, including doughnuts, to soldiers. The women who served doughnuts to the troops fried them in soldiers' helmets. They were known as "Doughnut Lassies" and are credited with popularising doughnuts in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://centralusa.salvationarmy.org/metro/donutdayhistory/|title=The History of Donut Day|website=The Salvation Army|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151207210850/http://centralusa.salvationarmy.org/metro/donutdayhistory/|archive-date=7 December 2015|url-status=dead|access-date=25 March 2018}}</ref> [[National Doughnut Day]] is now celebrated in the United States on the first Friday of June every year, a tradition that started in Chicago in 1938, to honour those who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I.<ref>{{cite news|first=Kevin|last=Fagan|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/06/06/BAEQ181KO9.DTL |title=A holey holiday – National Donut Day|work=S.F.
