The Salvation Army Southern California Division

On June 12th, 20 amazing volunteers from Ross Stores joined forces at The Salvation Army Bell Shelter to dedicate their time to hanging up and organizing donated clothing items. We're incredibly grateful for the generous donation of these items from Ross Stores, Inc. Together, they sorted through clothing, broke down boxes, and prepared these essentials for those who need them most.   We’re so thankful for this wonderful group of volunteers. Thank you for helping us make a difference 💙   #RossDressforLess #Volunteer #CommunitySupport #TheSalvationArmy

Donut Day 2024 was a success here in SoCal! 🍩 Donut Day began in 1938 as a way to honor The Salvation Army’s Donut Lassies, who traveled to the front lines during World War I to boost morale by cooking donuts, providing supplies, and praying with soldiers fighting in the trenches. Today, nearly a century later, The Salvation Army continues to serve on the front lines of the fight against poverty through a wide range of social services. Check out the fun donut events that happened all over SoCal! #NationalDonutDay #DonutDay #DonutLassies #TheSalvationArmy

The Dentsu One Day for Change was a huge success, as 41 volunteers dedicated 5 hours to beautify the outdoor space at Bell Oasis Permanent Supportive Housing. Their efforts included clearing weeds and trash, as well as organizing 70 boxes of clothing donations, ensuring a safer and more pleasant environment for residents. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dentsu team for their hard work and commitment! #Dentsu #Volunteer #GiveBack #CommunityImpact #Socal #TheSalvationArmy

🍩 Wow! Over 800 of you joined us yesterday on the deck of the USS Midway Museum for #NationalDonutDay, and it was an unforgettable afternoon! We could not have put together this event without our longtime partners BakeMark and USS Midway Museum. A huge thank you to all our amazing donut vendors and to the fantastic performances by Rat Pack Reborn (Jeff Schildgen, CISSP) and the Marine Band San Diego. Special shoutout to Mark Shaffer and Chopper the Biker Dog for adding extra fun to the day! Here's to more sweet memories together! Until next time, keep spreading the joy and sweetness! #MidwayDonutDay #MidwayDonutDay2024 #DonutDay #NationalDonutDay #USSMidway

National Donut Day has roots going back to World War I but was created in #Chicago as a fundraiser for those in need during the #GreatDepression. Thanks to the generosity of the Donut Lassies and those who continue to serve today, these sprinkle-studded pastries serve as a reminder of selfless acts of kindness. How will you give back this National Donut Day? #SalvationArmy #DonutDay #DonutLassies #WWI
