🍩 The Salvation Army Lassies stepped onto the front lines of WWI with one mission: bring comfort where it was most needed.
A warm doughnut became a reminder that someone cared, and that one act of love has rippled through generations.
Today, hundreds of families across The Salvation Army Nashville find comfort, support, and hope through our supportive housing, food services, and financial assistance.
🍩National Doughnut Day celebrates kindness that still changes lives.

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

At The Salvation Army Nashville, we live that out every day, serving families in crisis, walking with people in recovery, feeding neighbors who are hungry, and offering hope to anyone who needs a place to rest and rebuild.
Because love isn’t just something we feel, it’s something we do… together.

More than a century ago, the “Donut Lassies” entered the WWI huts with hands full of flour, sugar, and the honest intention to lift the spirits of the soldiers who were far from home. Against all odds, that small act of kindness made a lasting difference.
On June 7, 1938, The Salvation Army first celebrated National Doughnut Day as a fundraiser during the Great Depression to support families facing hardship. A wonderful act that mirrored and honored the legacy of those courageous women.
Today, at The Salvation Army Nashville, we carry this purpose forward each day, meeting local needs with love and compassion through our food pantries 🍽️ and sack lunches 📦.
A simple recipe in action.
A lasting impact.
Because from the very beginning, the first ingredient was love.
