The festival promises to be a fun-filled day for families, and donut enthusiasts alike, with live music, activities, and plenty of FREE mouthwatering treats to enjoy. Admission to the event is FREE, with donations encouraged to support The Salvation Army’s efforts to combat hunger and assist those in need.
This event is part of The Salvation Army’s annual tradition, National Donut Day, which began in 1938 as a fundraiser that honored the memory of The Salvation Army’s volunteer “Donut Lassies,” who served some of the comforts of home (donuts and coffee) to soldiers during World War I. At the time, these volunteers were the only female non-military personnel stationed on the front lines – and they prepared the donuts using hot oil, a stove, and the steel helmets made by the U.S. military.
