Denver, CO, April 27th, 2024.
Sprinkles, glazed, Boston cream or jelly…National Donut Day brings The Salvation Army and LaMar’s together to bring some sugary comfort to those in need.
A tradition first started by the Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938, honoring members who first
gave out donuts to soldiers in WWI, is now recognized as a truly heartwarming endeavor for the modern age.
As partners of this national event, Both LaMar’s and The Salvation Army will utilize their
tremendous reach to bring smiles and feed veterans at the local VA hospital in Aurora. The campaign will live on social media and on both home pages to deliver surprises and offer much needed donation opportunities.
On June 3rd, the celebration will include a free donut for all costumers, plus donut lassies will
deliver treats to all wounded veterans as well as various local news outlets in the Denver/Aurora
community. Major Mike, an officer in the inter mountain division called this initiative “a tradition that
will keep on giving”.
For more information, to donate or to volunteer, visit The Salvation Army home page.
