This holiday commemorates the Salvation Army volunteers who served donuts to soldiers during WWI, offering comfort during a time of conflict. You can continue the legacy of caring with support and resources to make your own celebration a success.

These ready-to-use posts let your followers know about this sweet holiday.

There’s certainly no shortage of ways to make this holiday special.
Consider some of these ideas for an even more memorable occasion.

Consider offering promotions for people delivering donuts to nonprofits and organizations helping to better local communities. Or donate a percentage of the day’s sales to a specific charity group.

Games with easy setup and fun rewards can help make the day even more special. A simple prize wheel or “donut hole toss” (modified corn hole game) can reward consumers with a free donut, BOGO offer on their next visit, or other fun giveaways.

Consider setting up a space where customers can customize their own donuts with various toppings, icings, and sprinkles. You can also put out crayons and markers for little ones to decorate their boxes.

Create special National Donut Day themed boxes featuring a variety of your best selling donuts and offer them at a discounted price or as a gift with purchase to encourage larger orders. Giving customers a quick, grab-and-go option keeps things running smoothly on a very busy day.
