🇺🇸🍩❤️Did you know that has its roots in doing good?

In 1917, The Salvation Army began a mission to provide for U.S. soldiers fighting in WWI France. Salvation Army volunteers, nicknamed “Donut Lassies,” set up near the front lines where they could pray with the soldiers; giving them clothes, supplies and, of course, donuts.🫶

Over 100 years later, we're still blessed to bring critical care. Thanks to good people like you, The Salvation Army is still on the front lines, still fighting for good, still serving comfort and compassion to neighbors in need during all types of disaster.

🕊️"We love because he first loved us.” 📖

💟Taking a moment to celebrate our good works together after all these years, sure does make National Donut Day extra sweet!

Here's to enjoying a donut while you learn more about this awesome American tradition, including the lassies' original donut recipe at salarmy.us/NatlDonutDay🍩

🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

Today, we celebrate a sweet tradition that began more than 100 years ago when The Salvation Army's brave "Donut Lassies" served donuts, comfort, and encouragement to American soldiers on the front lines during World War I.

What started as a simple act of kindness became a symbol of hope, compassion, and service...values that continue to guide The Salvation Army today.

And there's even more reason to enjoy a donut today! 🍩❤️ All Bashas' Supermarkets are donating 10% of their donut sales on National Donut Day to The Salvation Army. Stop by your local Bashas', pick up your favorite donut, and help support programs and services that make a difference in our community.

A heartfelt thank you to Bashas' for their partnership and commitment to helping neighbors in need. 🥰

As we close out National Salvation Army Week, we reflect on more than 150 years of service, compassion, and hope. ❤️

What began as ministering to people living in poverty on the streets of London in 1865 has now become William and Catherine Booth's worldwide legacy and mission dedicated to serving neighbors in need without discrimination.

From disaster response and emergency shelter to youth programs, food assistance, and spiritual care, The Salvation Army continues to meet human needs in communities across the world and right here in the Southwest Division.

Thank you for being part of this mission and for helping us continue to Give with Joy every single day.

Community partnership and compassion were at the heart of the UNS Meet Yourself event and the 29th annual Tucson Electric Power company BBQ! ☀️🌭

Two members of the Social Services team from The Salvation Army Tucson attended the event to help promote Project HOPE, a program that encourages TEP employees to support the HEERO utility assistance program through one-time donations or payroll deductions.

At their table during the event, the team educated employees about the importance of the program and how those donations directly help The Salvation Army Tucson TEP customers facing financial hardships with their utility bills. Every contribution made through Project HOPE and HEERO helps provide critical assistance to neighbors in need throughout Southern Arizona.

We are grateful for our continued partnership with UNS/TEP and for the employees who choose to give back and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. ❤️
