The Salvation Army:
- The Salvation Army started National Donut Day during the Great Depression as a way to raise funds and bring awareness to The Salvation Army's social service programs.
- National Donut Day commemorates the "donut lassies," female Salvation Army volunteers who provided writing supplies, stamps, clothes-mending and home-cooked meals, and of course, donuts, for soldiers on the front lines.
- Approximately 250 Salvation Army volunteers provided assistance to American soldiers in France starting in 1917 during WWI.
- With limited resources, these treats were fried, only seven at a time. The Salvation Army's Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance cleverly thought of frying donuts in soldiers' helmets.
- Last year, 30 million Americans received assistance from The Salvation Army's 3,600 officers, 64,000 employees and 3.4 million volunteers.

- Entenmann's has made more than 5 billion donuts - if you laid them end-to-end, you could wrap them around the earth almost 10 times!
- The Rich Frosted Donut has been the #1 seller since its introduction in 1973. 2013 marks the 40-Year Anniversary - that's a sweet celebration.
- Entenmann's Donut Facility in Carlisle, Pennsylvania is the largest Donut Plant in the United States, producing more than 40 million boxes of yummy delight each year.
- Believing that people were more inclined to buy what they can see, the Entenmann's brothers, William, Robert and Charles, and mother, Martha, invented the familiar "see-through" cake box for baked goods in 1959.
- In the early '50s, Frank Sinatra used to call the Bay Shore bakery to place weekly orders from Entenmanns.
