Donuts Will Be Distributed at Various Locations Throughout the City.
The Salvation Army Santa Monica will commemorate its 130-year anniversary on June 2 by distributing donuts at two downtown locations in honor of National Donut Day.
During World War I, The Salvation Army Donut Lassies served fresh donuts in Europe to bolster the morale of troops. This year, as a tribute to its longstanding service to the city of Santa Monica and National Donut Day, Lionsgate will sponsor the distribution of 2,000 DK donuts at the Santa Monica Promenade.
“We are privileged to celebrate our enduring partnership with the city of Santa Monica and its residents this year with the indulgence of delectable warm donuts,” Captain James Fleming, Corps Officer & Silvercrest Coordinator, EDS Officer, said in a release. “Despite our 130 years of presence in the community, there is still work to be done, and we hope these donuts raise awareness of our affection and the needs of our community.”
The event will take place from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. The program will be held at 1533 4th St., Santa Monica, California. Donuts will be distributed on-site during the program and afterward at various locations throughout the city, including 7th and Montana, Santa Monica Promenade, S.M. Police and Fire Station, and the Salvation Army Family Store at 1658 11th St.
