ORLANDO, Fla. – Friday is National Donut Day, and Central Florida’s doughnut scene has exploded in the last few years.

Donut Day was created by The Salvation Army in 1938 as a fundraiser to help people during the Great Depression. It also honored the Donut Lassies, the women who would run field bases in France in World War I to provide essential goods – and doughnuts – for the troops.
