The Salvation Army in Greater Cleveland and Giant Eagle Celebrate National Donut Day

What: This Friday, June 6th, The Salvation Army in Northeast Ohio will mark National Donut Day in a special way. In collaboration with Giant Eagle, they will pay tribute to the Donut Lassies' rich history by hosting a series of events in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Giant Eagle, in their generous spirit, will provide donuts for these events and sell them at their store locations for $6.00 a dozen, further spreading the joy of National Donut Day. Additionally, The Salvation Army will have their canteen parked outside The Market District in Strongsville to serve donuts and coffee to local shoppers as a “Thank You” for their support during the annual Red Kettle campaign.

Who: Nate Berkey- Donor Relations Director, The Salvation Army in Greater Cleveland

Why: National Donut Day, the world's sweetest holiday, was established in 1938 by The Salvation Army. This day not only serves as a delightful reason to visit your favorite local bakery but also stands as a testament to the bravery of The Salvation Army’s Donut Lassies. These courageous women stood shoulder to shoulder with soldiers on the front lines during World War I, providing them with a taste of home and a much-needed morale boost.
