The Salvation Army to celebrate National Donut Day
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Officials say on June 6, The Salvation Army plans to celebrate National Donut Day. The Salvation Army says during World War I, women volunteering with the organization traveled to France, setting up field bases near the front lines. They provided soldiers with vital supplies, spiritual and emotional support, and donuts. The donuts became a morale booster amid the war. Known as the 'Donut Lassies,' these women are often credited with popularizing the donut in the United States when the troops returned home. To both honor their service and raise funds for those affected by the Great Depression, The Salvation Army established National Donut Day in 1938. Three bids revealed for proposed Tepe Park splash pad 'National Donut Day is a meaningful holiday for us, serving as an important reminder of the impactful work we do daily to support our neighbors,' said Captain Victor Haworth of the Owensboro Corps. 'We take pride in being part of the nation's largest nongovernmental provider of social services and serving the Western Kentucky community. Today, we not only celebrate a beloved treat but also our ongoing commitment to serve as a positive light in people's lives.' A recipe for donuts can be found below.
