- National Donut Day commemorates the "donut lassies," female Salvation Army volunteers who provided writing supplies, stamps, clothes-mending and home-cooked meals, and of course, donuts, for soldiers on the front lines.
The Salvation Army started National Donut Day during the Great Depression as a way to raise funds and bring awareness to The Salvation Army's social service programs. The annual event is now celebrated the first Friday of June.
How wonderful!
Wow, this is amazing .
The Salvation Army has been there when they were needed.
Thank you🙏💗🙏
My grandad was in the British Army serving in Burma during WWII. He was a POW in a Japanese Labour camp (building the Bridge over the River Kwai and the Burmese Railroad. He was traumatised this experience. The only two thing he mentioned was the Gurkhas and the Salvation Army which looked out for him whlle he heald in Canada before coming back to England.
Magnificent video.
I checked that clip in purpose, to find out, if Salvation Army officially states to "support removing children from mothers" but did not find that part. Had very wierd experience 2021 in The Netherland, where Salvation Army is dominant partner of Dutch State, in case "person needs to get stuck in juridical system". During COVID local social housing set me out with my 4 year old daughter and I bought us a small affordable houseboat. While local Salvation Army basically attacked us with visits, claiming "we should leave the neighbourhood immediately" without offering any reasonable solution, then arranging suprise- fast courtcase decision from far away catholic judge from Dan Hague and before they confiscated my child I still managed to tell to child "go with those nice ladies and they will take you to a holiday". In fact, I was forbidden to see child till next courtcase was over, verifying that child will grow since now up in their system. They acted like kings- child got massive trauma for not seeing me- they had no duty to inform me about it nor childs house doctor. They took child to medical researches without my permission. At next courtcases they started accusing me, as I traumatised my child myself so their acts were justified. Basically in order to get child back I needed to get through 12(!) courtcases and getting child back susseeded on-ly thanks to the fact that I am myself Estonian, so we could proceed carrying the case in other country. None of Salvation Army workers or anyone from their team agreed to bid-pray together. In opposite- all short meetings they used most nasty techniques, making me threatten: "if you do not give us a signature that you agree with medical researches of child you will even not have a chance to get her back" or noting specially when I said some dutch word otherwise. For example in place of "beugels" I used English work "breckets".When I asked them "would Salvation Army go and arrange confiscation of Jesus just because child was born in a housing with a solar panel, no shower" so as stood in complaint of our case... Sandra van Leeuwen answered- Yes, that I am afraid of and we tried to avoid indeed. They refused to pray or offer foreprayer when after 1 year was still unknown, if EU juridical system allows to transfer a case to Estonia. And then I did attempt to transfer case simply to another municipality inside of Netherland they refused with even explaining why. My impression was, Salvation Army is locally in the Netherland strong juridical power. Lets say- in fact, my child got extremely traumatised through their deeds but they had no duty to appologise or admit that they caused my childs trauma. In fact opposite- in all their papers they tried to avoid whole topic. In their year raport is stated: "100% kids who land in their system- are traumatised" but from direct contacts with them, I got impression that whole running business as they did- they had no feeling of guilt, exhaustion or suprise, means, they had to know exactly what they were doing. Damaging kids health with sudden separation from parents seems not to be sin, not either criminal. Simply "thing what they do and the way how they work". C/09 /593511 /JERK /20-1224 . I am simple artist- translator, have no money to go years and years trying to stop few people, who seem inside of Dutch Salvation Army using in my opinion methods what are unethical if not criminal. (Kids can not speak for themselves- their parents are not heard since Salvation Army directly threattens parents to keep mouth shut- otherwise...". What I try to do is to join now myself Salvation Army, in order to understand beter that system- how they work, why they need to traumatise kids. Or if not- maybe it seems to me- to let them change my mind. (And my daughters mind.) Anyone who is interested in our case- feel free to contact- here is whole documentation. My daughter still asks me pretty often: "why police and those women came behind our door"). There was one pectacular eposode that kept repeating. When I was allowed to visit my daughter in their facility, for 1 hour per 2 weeks, under camera, security screen and 1 paid worker staring at us, I brought to my daughter a donut. Because this is what makes her happy, she loves donuts the most. Man always said: "put this away, back in your back. This is unhealthy food, I am not allowing to eat it here". Situation- 4 year old kid with mom who barely are allowed to see eachother! Kid cried and I had to put donut back in a bag. Little later- so in 5 months after capturing came new order- I had to wear also covid mask indoors while seeing child. So I could see her but she could not see my face anymore. And 2 weeks after her confiscation I was able to see her- terribly traumatised child, then was her birthday and I brought her presents- it was said that I am not allowed to give those because it is trash. My question is- if Salvation Army has some sort of policy to humiliate people? When I tell it now it sounds unhumane but they behaved like "that would be an ordinary way of behaving"....
