Sweet Resilience: The Story of The Salvation Army and National Donut Day
Manage episode 423215528 series 3530045
National Donut Day, celebrated every first Friday in June, is more than a culinary tradition; It is a symbol of resilience and service. This commemoration has its roots in the compassionate acts of The Salvation Army during World War I, when the brave “Donut Lassies” offered donuts to soldiers on the front lines, giving them a taste of home and a spark of joy in the midst of the chaos of war.
Today, the organization continues to honor the legacy of the “Donut Lassies” by providing essential services to those in need, embodying the same spirit of compassion and community that defined the original volunteers.
National Donut Day not only celebrates the delicious treat, but also remembers the history behind the holiday, serving as a reminder of the lasting impact of small acts of kindness and the importance of supporting those who selflessly serve others.
In this special episode of "Power Moment" learn more about the resilience of one of the most important organizations, The Salvation Army, and remind be kind without looking at who!
