National Donut Day: Celebrating America’s Favorite Treat

Join the celebration of National Donut Day! Learn about the history, flavors, and fun surrounding this beloved treat.

Published

National Donut Day is a celebration of one of America’s favorite treats. Observed on the first Friday of June every year, this holiday honors the humble donut and all of the joy it brings to our lives.

The tradition of National Donut Day dates back to the First World War. During this time, the Salvation Army provided donuts and coffee to soldiers on the front lines as a way to boost their morale. The soldiers loved the donuts so much that they started calling the Salvation Army volunteers “donut lassies.” In 1938, the Salvation Army declared the first Friday of June as National Donut Day to honor the volunteers who served on the front lines during the war.

Today, National Donut Day is celebrated by donut shops and bakeries across the country. Many of these establishments offer free or discounted donuts to their customers as a way to celebrate the holiday. Some shops even create special donut flavors or designs just for National Donut Day.

One of the reasons that donuts are so beloved is their versatility. Donuts come in a variety of flavors, from classic glazed to trendy matcha. They can be filled with cream, jelly, or even bacon. Donuts can be made into fun shapes or decorated with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or fruit. No matter what your taste preferences are, there is a donut out there for you.

In addition to their deliciousness, donuts also have a special place in our culture. Donut shops are often gathering places for friends and family. Many people have fond memories of visiting their local donut shop on weekend mornings with their loved ones. Donuts are also a popular treat at office meetings, birthday parties, and other special occasions.

However, it’s important to remember that donuts should be enjoyed in moderation. Donuts are high in sugar and calories, and eating too many can have negative health consequences. If you’re looking to celebrate National Donut Day without overindulging, consider sharing a donut with a friend or opting for a smaller size.

The Premium USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified Blend Delivers a Bright, Smooth, and Bold Taste Unlike Any Other

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. /PRNewswire/ — Death Wish Coffee Co., the number one Organic and number one Fair Trade coffee brand in the United States*, has brightened up its portfolio with the launch of its first-ever Light Roast blend – a perfect balance of sweet, bright, and bold.

Death Wish Coffee Co.’s Light Roast Blend

The three-bean blend was intentionally crafted to highlight the sweet fruit notes of Colombian coffee, the bright acidity of Peruvian coffee, and the depth and body that premium Robusta has to offer. Slow-roasted to perfection, this complex brew will suit coffee enthusiasts who are seeking a lighter roast to invigorate their senses and keep them going all day long without compromising on quality or flavor. The Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, and Kosher roast can be enjoyed hot or iced and sipped during any time of day for a sustainably sourced pick-me-up that consumers can feel good about.

This addition is an expansion of Death Wish Coffee Co.’s core lineup of premium Medium, Dark, and Espresso roasts, which comes in response to the shifting flavor preferences of younger consumers.

“This exciting addition completes our core portfolio of Medium, Dark, Espresso, and now Light roasts —providing a range of high-quality, Fair Trade Certified, and USDA Organic roast shades for the discerning coffee consumer,” said Tom Ennis, President and CEO of Death Wish Coffee Co. “We are excited to offer a light, bright, and bold coffee for the new generation of coffee consumers that don’t want their parents’ coffee brand.”

Light Roast is available in 16 oz. ground bags, with whole bean and single-serve pods to follow. Light Roast can be purchased on www.deathwishcoffee.com and Amazon, with plans to hit Target shelves in early 2025.

Outside of its core line, Death Wish Coffee Co. also sells flavored options that are Fair Trade Certified and made with no artificial flavors. Each product follows rigorous standards that protect the environment and livelihoods of coffee farmers.

About Death Wish Coffee Co.

He searched far and wide for the world’s best beans, perfected a unique roasting technique, and Death Wish Coffee Company was born. What started as a few employees packing orders in the basement of a quaint coffee shop is now the #1 Fair Trade and #1 Organic Coffee Brand* in the United States and can be found in more than 25,000 stores nationwide, on Amazon and deathwishcoffee.com. Death Wish Coffee Company blends, including its Dark Roast, Medium Roast, Espresso Roast, Valhalla Java, and now Light Roast, are always Fair Trade + USDA Certified Organic.
