Good "Salvation" Friday Morning, all bodies.
It's National Donut Day... Who knew?
The Salvation Army established National Donut Day in 1938 to honor The Salvation Army's 'donut lassies,' who made history when they risked their lives to raise spirits and fuel hope by serving thousands of soldiers during WWI, in part by delivering donuts and other sweet treats to those in the war.
In 1917, Salvation Army volunteers traveled to France and set up makeshift huts on the front lines where they provided essential goods and sweet treats to boost morale. The donut was then, and continues to be, a taste of home and a symbol of comfort for Americans, so says the promo by the Salvation Army today.
And, it just happens to fall on a First Friday Folsom Business and Community breakfast at Giddy Up. How fortuitous!
First free cup!
