The Salvation Army 🤝 National Donut Day

Did you know that the sweet treat we all love played an important role in The Salvation Army’s history? began with the bravery of Salvation Army volunteers during WWI. These “Donut Lassies” were on the front lines, providing supplies, spiritual comfort and, of course, donuts. 🍩

As you enjoy your yummy pastry today, we hope you’ll think of our neighbors in SoCal who are counting on that same spirit of compassion. Make someone’s day sweeter: https://salarmy.us/donut-fb26

Have you been following Kammy’s storyline on Emmerdale recently?
There are many thousands of people hiding the fact they are homeless because they are afraid of being judged, worried about losing their job, or put off asking for help by a bad experience.

While rough sleeping may be the most visible type of homelessness, there are also people who, like Kammy, are forced to live in unsafe conditions without proper facilities such as barns, garages and cars. Others may rely on friends and family for a floor or a sofa to sleep on, making everyday life a huge struggle. They are also subject to many of the same problems as those sleeping rough, such as mental and physical ill health and family relationship breakdown.

We have been working with Emmerdale to highlight the struggles of hidden homelessness through Kammy’s storyline, informed by real experiences of people we help daily.

Pentecost was a day that changed everything. As we reflect on it today, let's pray that the Holy Spirit would quietly move and work within each of our lives.

Today marks Day 1 of Thy Kingdom Come 2026. ✨

As this year’s global wave of prayer begins, we invite you to join us over the next 11 days in praying, ‘Come Holy Spirit’, asking God to renew us by His Spirit and help us share His love with the Five people we are holding in prayer.

Let us pray that the Spirit will make us effective witnesses to our Five loved ones. 🙏

Oh Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves and not need You.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
