History, Partnerships, Celebrations
National Donut Day is a celebration of the unifying power of our favorite breakfast pastry and has a surprising history stretching back more than seven decades.
History of National Donut Day: In 1938, National Donut Day emerged as a fundraising initiative by The Salvation Army aimed at aiding those impacted by the Great Depression. Additionally, it served as a tribute to the brave "Lassies" of World War I who provided soldiers on the front lines in France with donuts. Since then, donuts have become a culinary symbol of togetherness, bringing people closer through shared enjoyment.
Partnering With The Salvation Army: LaMar's Donuts has joined forces with The Salvation Army for the past 14 years, hosting an annual fundraising drive for National Donut Day. This year, LaMar's Donuts & Coffee is dedicated to upholding the tradition of National Donut Day by collaborating with The Salvation Army to distribute donuts within our communities and engage customers in the celebration at each location. At all LaMar's locations, Salvation Army Bell Ringers will be on-site in select locations, rallying support for those in need. LaMar's patrons can also make donations directly at https://salarmy.us/dd22im.
How We're Celebrating: Join us at any LaMar's Donuts & Coffee on Friday, June 7, for a free Ray's Original Glazed Donut.
