Selfless Spirit


From 1917 until the end of World War One, the
woman of The Salvation Army provided donuts to soldiers.  


Today on this 1st Friday in June,

 we celebrate National Donut Day. 


It officially began in 1938 as a way of paying 

 tribute to the selfless spirit of The Salvation

 Army volunteers, the "donut lassies" during 

the first world war.  The holiday honors and 

symbolizes the services The Salvation Army 

continues to provide today.
