Tomorrow's the day!! Come see what your local Salvation Army has been up to and have a donut and cup of coffee on us!! 10am-12
More than a century ago, the “Donut Lassies” entered the WWI huts with hands full of flour, sugar, and the honest intention to lift the spirits of the soldiers who were far from home. Against all odds, that small act of kindness made a lasting difference.
On June 7, 1938, The Salvation Army first celebrated National Doughnut Day as a fundraiser during the Great Depression to support families facing hardship. A wonderful act that mirrored and honored the legacy of those courageous women.
Today, at The Salvation Army San Antonio, we carry this purpose forward each day, meeting local needs with love and compassion through our food assistance and sack lunches.
A simple recipe in action.
A lasting impact.
Because from the very beginning, the first ingredient was love.
