<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The History of National Donut Day</strong></h3>
<p>During World War I, approximately 250 Salvation Army volunteers assisted American soldiers in France. Rations were slim and the volunteers gave out coffee and donuts as a way to promote cheer and serve as reminders of home.</p>
<p>National Donut Day was established by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor those “Donut Lassies” who served the treats (along with writing supplies, stamps, clothes-mending and home-cooked meals), and to help raise funds during the Great Depression.</p>
<p>The Salvation Army continues to provide meals and services to daily to those who visit Salvation Army programs. <strong>On National Donut Day, enjoy a free donut at one of the local companies below— and be inspired to donate time or money to help the Salvation Army carry on their work.</strong></p>
