Good News - July 2020

33 JULY 2020 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South Florida Edition OUT AND ABOUT The Salvation Army of Broward County partnered with Dunkin’ to honor local first re- sponders on National Donut Day, Friday, June 5. Dunkin’ supplied hundreds of donuts to The SalvationArmy to distribute to Broward men and women presently saving lives on the frontlines of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. “National Donut Day is a re- minder that small acts canmake a big difference in our commu- nity, as evidenced by these past twomonths which have empha- sized our heroes and our hard- ships,” said Major Stephen Long, area commander for The Salvation Army of Broward County. “We aremost grateful to Dunkin’ for their generous dona- tion and support of our mission to do the most good.” Established by The Salva- tion Army in 1938, National Donut Day is held annually on the first Friday in June to honor the Donut Lassies, who served the tasty treats to soldiers in France on the front lines of World War I. The donut now serves as a symbol of the serv- ices and comfort The Salvation Army provides to more than 23 million people each year. To commemorate National Donut Day’s historic roots and to demonstrate the impact of a small token of kindness, The Salvation Army of Broward County made special deliveries to BrowardHealthMedical Cen- ter, Kindred Hospital, Memorial Regional Hospital, Broward Sheriff’s Office, Police and Fire Rescue Departments and Sta- tions in Fort Lauderdale, Davie, WiltonManors, Hollywood, Sun- rise and more.
