National Muffin Day is observed in the United States every year on February 20. This holiday celebrates muffins, particularly quickbread muffins, while also encouraging acts of kindness towards the homeless. The origins of National Muffin Day date back to 2015 when Jacob Kaufman and Julia Levy transformed it into a charity event, inspired by Kaufman's practice of giving muffins to homeless individuals. Participants are encouraged to bake homemade muffins to distribute to those in need, as the act of baking signifies care and effort. In addition to baking, individuals can engage in various charitable activities, such as volunteering at shelters or donating to homeless charities. The holiday promotes community involvement and kindness, with participants sharing their experiences on social media using specific hashtags.
