SUMMARY:National Doughnut Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on the first Friday in June\, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day\, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies. The Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI. \n#NationalDoughnutDay \nIn 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. \nThe doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling of the word is “donut.” \nOn this day\, many bakeries and coffee shops in the United States offer doughnut deals to their customers. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY \nCelebrate the day by enjoying your favorite doughnut. There are many varieties of doughnuts to choose from\, too! Whether you prefer glazed or creme-filled\, holes\, or any number of deliciously made doughnuts\, get out there and support your local bakeries. Pick up a dozen to deliver to first responders\, a nursing station\, or your favorite charity. Use #NationalDonutDay or #NationalDoughnutDay when using social media. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:World Caring Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on June 7\, World Caring Day shines a spotlight on all the ways we connect and show each other we care. Afterall\, we should always take time to celebrate the millions of acts of caring we see. All acts of caring\, whether big or small\, are important. Caring is continuous and happens every day through compassion\, support\, kindness and understanding. \n#WorldCaringDay\nIn a world of many worries\, one of the easiest ways to show love is by caring. We all experience times of crisis\, illness or need. Sharing our journeys and becoming a part of a beautiful story in a segmented\, cynical world recognizes and celebrates the people who care. When we take the time to notice\, we see patience\, understanding\, kindness and encouragement from everyone around us. \nUse World Caring Day to remind others to take the opportunity and practice caring. Now more than ever\, we need to lean into caring for one another. Using this day as an opportunity to share your compassion shows genuine love and is a blessing. By sincerely asking how someone’s day went\, it shows that you care\, and can improve that person’s overall well-being. \nCaring Around the World\nCelebrating everyone as they share stories of caring recognizes and honors both those who care\, and those who are cared for. On June 7th\, we encourage everyone to rededicate themselves to recognizing\, sharing and participating in acts of caring by: \n\nAsking how someone is doing with intent and meaning. Asking someone how they are to find out what is going on in their lives shows you care.\nBeing mindful of the needs of others. Being alert and sensitive to what triggers your loved ones can help them navigate the shifts in their mood.\nReconnecting online to catch up with your friends and family living far away or with those you haven’t spoken to in a long time reopens relationships.\nMaking time for your loved ones. We know everyone gets busy but don’t become a stranger to your friends and family.\nWriting a note. You’ll be surprised by how big of an impact little notes of encouragement can have on the mood and well-being of others.\nSharing your story! Head over to www.worldcaringday.org and share your story of caring for a loved one through a challenging health journey. You can also read stories of others to feel inspired.\nJoining the conversation by spreading the word. Sharing acts of kindness will boost the World Caring Day\, especially when you use #WorldCaringDay on social media.\n\nSource Link
