National Donut Day Celebrated

The La Grange Salvation Army in partnership with La Grange HEB store distributed 12 dozen donuts to our county first responders on Friday, as part of Donut Lassie Day — officially National Donut Day — which is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June to honor the brave women of the Salvation Army known as the “Donut Lassies”, who served donuts to U.S. soldiers during World War I. “We thank them for their contributions to our community and their service to us,” said Jesse Lednicky, La Grange Salvation Army Board President.
