The Salvation Army of Alpena

A surprise visit but also our third place winner Friends Together. In honor of two of my family members fighting cancer I wanted to have extras donuts that I could give Friends Together. I did and delivered. We are blessed in Alpena to have these three organizations that don’t exist in most communities. Foster Closet of Northern Michigan, Feeding Kids Ministry, and Friends Together.

Did you know National Donut Day began with The Salvation Army? ❤️

In 1917, Salvation Army “Donut Lassies” served fresh donuts to soldiers during World War I to bring comfort, encouragement, and a taste of home. Today, we continue that tradition by celebrating the people who serve our communities every day.

Help us spread a little sweetness by supporting The Salvation Army programs and services in your local community: https://salarmy.us/4nXl9e1
