Tomorrow is National Donut Day!

Here in Southern California, donut shops that display the sign pictured on the right are helping support The Salvation Army’s Haven program on the Veterans Administration Campus in West Los Angeles.

When you see a donut shop with this sign in the window, please stop by and buy a dozen!

The shops are customers of BakeMark, a leading manufacturer and distributor of bakery products and ingredients. This is the fourth year that the generous folks at BakeMark have made a significant gift in support of our programs to help veterans at risk of homelessness. So far they’ve donated a whopping $40,000 and for that we’re extremely grateful.

So, what’s the connection between donuts and veterans? We’re glad you asked.
