Who were the Donut Dollies World War 1?

The "Donut Dollies" were American women who served as volunteers with the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) during World War I. They provided comfort and support to soldiers by delivering baked goods, including donuts, and offering recreational and emotional assistance at military camps and hospitals. Their efforts aimed to boost morale among troops, and they became an iconic symbol of women's contributions to the war effort. The term "Donut Dollies" later became associated with similar volunteer efforts during World War II as well.
