National Donut Day is Friday, June 2, and LaMar’s will be partnering with The Salvation Army to host an annual fundraising and community engagement event. Each participating LaMar’s location will also be giving away free donuts to everyone who visits a store.
National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of every June — a tradition dating back to 1917, when Salvation Army volunteers known as the “Donut Lassies” made donuts for soldiers on the front lines of World War I. In celebration of this tradition, LaMar’s will be partnering with The Salvation Army to host its 9th Annual National Donut Day fundraising campaign. The campaign will be hosted by various LaMar’s locations nationwide, and it will include free donuts, donations to The Salvation Army, and community engagement with local police and fire departments. The goal of this campaign is to spread joy and give back to the community, just like the Donut Lassies did over 100 years ago.
This year’s National Donut Day fundraiser will be a celebration unlike any other. In addition to raising funds for The Salvation Army through donations, LaMar’s will match all online donations made during the week of May 28th. Each participating location will be handing out free Ray’s Original Glazed donuts to customers, along with LaMar’s National Donut Day t-shirts, while supplies last. LaMar’s will be partnering with local police and fire stations, who will volunteer their time to hand out the free donuts and t-shirts to community members at select participating locations.
In addition to celebrating the holiday at LaMar’s stores, The Salvation Army will be delivering thousands of LaMar’s donuts to the Denver and Aurora Police Departments as well as locations in Kansas City, MO, Omaha, NE, and Wichita, KS, for National Donut Day. Staff and members of the Army, along with Aurora police officers, will also hand deliver donuts to veterans at the VA Medical Center in Aurora, CO. The Salvation Army brass band will be at the medical center at 10 a.m. to perform and celebrate the national holiday.
“The Salvation Army’s tireless mission to keep children clothed, sheltered, and fed is an enduring reminder that we need to do what we can to support our community members,” shared Temi Osifodunrin, LaMar’s Director of Marketing and Advertising. “LaMar’s is thrilled to be spreading joy to our communities on National Donut Day, just like the Donut Lassies did for soldiers during World War I.”
To receive a free Ray’s Original Glazed hand-made donut on National Donut Day, LaMar’s customers must simply visit their local store. For customers who can’t make it to a LaMar’s location on National Donut Day, LaMar’s will also be mailing out “Share the LaMar’s Donut Day Love” cards to community members in surrounding neighborhoods. These cards can be used to redeem one free donut with a hole and a small coffee. Specialty donuts & coffee will be available but will incur an upcharge when used with the card.

This year’s Men’s Health Champions are: Mr. Wilner Auguste, founder, Haitian American United (HAU); Rev. John Finley, co-founder and head of Epiphany School; Rev. Art Gordon, pastor, St. John Missionary Baptist Church; Mr. David Morales, general manager, UniCare; Mr. Jean Prezeau, men’s health ambassador, Whitter Street Health Center; Mr. William Watkins, MBA, vice president of digital strategies and partnerships, Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts; and Mr. Leverett Wing, president and CEO, Commonwealth Seminar.
NBC10 News Anchor Glenn Jones will be the guest speaker during the highly anticipated event to which all are welcome to attend.
“Our Men’s Health Summit aims to help to address preventable causes that contribute to increased morbidity and mortality rates, and decreased life expectancy for men,” said Frederica M. Williams, president and CEO of Whittier Street Health Center. “We will explore strategies to advance men’s health, raise awareness about why it is important to engage with men to improve their health and well-being and provide health education resources and access to care.”
