🍩 A meaningful National Donut Day in Champaign!

Today, The Salvation Army proudly opened a new Veterans Center designed to help veterans across Champaign County connect with resources, build community, and successfully transition into everyday life.

Developed in partnership with local organizations, the center provides a welcoming space where veterans can access support for housing, mental health, employment, transportation, addiction recovery, and more.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by Captain Kenyon Sivels and retired Salvation Army employee Dave Murphy, coincided with National Donut Day—a fitting tribute to the Salvation Army's Donut Lassies, who served soldiers on the front lines during WWI.

For more than 13 years, The Salvation Army's local veterans programs have served approximately 8,000 veterans. Today marks another important step in continuing that mission of hope, support, and service.

Donuts may be round, but kindness goes a long way. 🍩❤️

Today for National Donut Day, we had the joy of delivering smiles (and lots of donuts!) to some of the amazing people who make our community stronger every day.

A small treat. A simple thank you. A reminder that every act of kindness matters.

Happy National Donut Day from The Salvation Army!
