LaMar’s Donuts Joins The Salvation Army for National Donut Day Give-Away
The duo will give away donuts to military personnel & LaMar’s visitors Friday
Donut lovers are also welcome to visit any LaMar’s location in the Denver metro area to receive one free glazed donut per person and to support the services The Salvation Army provides in our local communities.
National Donut Day, first established in 1938 by The Salvation Army in Chicago, pays tribute to the "Donut Lassies" – volunteer women who served donuts and coffee to soldiers on the front lines during World War I. The Donut Lassies served up to 9,000 donuts daily to American soldiers during WWI and WWII and their original recipe can be found on the Intermountain Division website at imsalvationarmy.org.
“We’re thrilled to partner with LaMar’s Donuts again this year,” says Major Nesan Kistan, Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army in the Intermountain Division. “Their generous support allows us to keep this beloved tradition going – a reminder that we’re still serving on the front lines of society.”
“We invite everyone to take part in honoring good food, history, community, and compassion by having a LaMar’s donut and supporting The Salvation Army’s mission on National Donut Day,” says Matt Joslin, LaMar’s President/COO.
About LaMar’s Donuts

Today the franchised chain has locations in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska and Arizona. LaMar's has won numerous awards and favorable reviews by such publications as The New Yorker and Gourmet magazine and was the first donut to be reviewed and acclaimed by Zagat, the world's most trusted guide to restaurants.
