Happy National Donut Day! Today, we celebrate a sweet tradition that began with The Salvation Army's Donut Lassies, who served donuts and encouragement to soldiers during World War I.
A heartfelt thank you to Lamars Donuts & Coffee, our incredible media partners KOAM News Now, and the dedicated staff at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center for helping us honor this special day and the veterans who have served our nation. Your partnerships help us continue a legacy of compassion, service, and hope.
Together, we're sharing more than donuts, we're sharing gratitude, community, and support for those who have sacrificed so much.
National Donut Day is almost here! 🍩 This year, on June 5, we’ll celebrate Donut Day across the nation.
Donut Day was created to honor the Salvation Army’s “Donut Lassies,” who served fresh donuts and support to soldiers during World War I.
Feeling inspired? Here’s the original WWI-style donut recipe to try for yourself:
Yield: approximately 12 donuts
Ingredients:
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch of salt
• ⅓ cup milk
• oil for frying
Directions:
Combine all ingredients (except the oil) to make the dough.
Thoroughly knead the dough, roll smooth, and cut into rings less than 1/4 inch thick. (Get creative—Salvation Army Donut Lassies used whatever they could find, from baking powder cans to coffee percolator tubes!)
Drop the rings into hot oil, turning slowly several times until golden brown.
Remove the donuts and allow excess oil to drip off.
Dust with powdered sugar, let cool, and enjoy!
If you give this historic recipe a try, tag us in your post—we’d love to see your creations! 🍩

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
As we close out National Salvation Army Week, this verse beautifully reflects the heart of The Salvation Army’s mission across the Intermountain Division. From disaster response and food assistance to shelter, spiritual care, and community support, carrying one another’s burdens is more than a calling.
It’s love in action. ❤️
