The Salvation Army started National Donut Day in 1938 to honor the women who served the doughnuts to soldiers in World War I. It began as a fund-raiser for Chicago’s Salvation Army where the goal for the 1938 fund-raiser was to help the needy during the Great Depression.

According to the National Day Calendar:

In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers, were a morale boost to the troops. The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling is donut.

Donuts are one of the most versatile snacks on the planet. It's a dessert, it's breakfast, it's a late night snack, and it comes in an infinite variety of flavors and varieties.
