The Kennewick Fire Department was proud to celebrate National Donut Day on Friday, June 5, in partnership with The Salvation Army TriCities Corps —a tradition rooted in service, compassion, and community connection.

To mark the occasion, Fire Chief Michael Heffner joined The Salvation Army in handing out donuts to community members shopping at Fred Meyer (2811 W. 10th Avenue), sharing a simple treat and meaningful moments of connection with our residents.

We’re grateful for partnerships like this that help us engage with the community, build relationships, and continue serving Kennewick in meaningful ways.

Last Friday, June 5, The Salvation Army Tri-Cities joined communities across the nation in celebrating National Donut Day in partnership with Fred Meyer locations in Richland and Kennewick.
Throughout the day, Advisory Board members, volunteers, and retired officers distributed complimentary donut holes to customers as a simple act of kindness and appreciation. We were especially grateful for the support of volunteers from the LDS Church, Kennewick Fire Department, and members of our community who helped make this event possible, as well as Franz Family Bakery for their support and for providing the donuts.

National Donut Day is more than just a celebration of a favorite treat. It honors a remarkable chapter in Salvation Army history. In 1917, The Salvation Army sent volunteers to support U.S. soldiers serving in France during World War I. Among them were women who became known as the "Donut Lassies." Working under challenging conditions near the front lines, they provided soldiers with supplies, encouragement, and freshly made donuts that became a symbol of comfort, hope, and care far from home.

To honor their service and to support those struggling during the Great Depression, The Salvation Army established the first National Donut Day in Chicago in 1938. Since then, the tradition has continued each year on the first Friday of June.

Thank you to Fred Meyer, our dedicated volunteers, Advisory Board members, and staff who helped share smiles and celebrate this meaningful tradition with our community.

El pasado viernes 5 de junio, The Salvation Army Tri-Cities se unió a comunidades de todo el país para celebrar el Día Nacional del Donut en colaboración con las tiendas Fred Meyer en Richland y Kennewick.

Durante el día, miembros del Advisory Board, voluntarios y oficiales retirados distribuyeron donut holes de cortesía a los clientes como un sencillo acto de bondad y aprecio.

Agradecemos especialmente el apoyo de los voluntarios de la LDS Church, el Departamento de Bomberos de Kennewick y miembros de nuestra comunidad que hicieron posible este evento, así como a Fran Family Bakery por su apoyo y la elaboración de las donas.

El Día Nacional del Donut es más que una celebración de un dulce favorito. Honra un capítulo importante en la historia del Ejército de Salvación. En 1917, el Ejército de Salvación envió voluntarios para apoyar a los soldados estadounidenses que servían en Francia durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Entre ellos estaban mujeres que llegaron a ser conocidas como las “Donut Lassies”. Trabajando en condiciones difíciles cerca del frente de batalla, brindaron a los soldados suministros, ánimo y donas recién hechas que se convirtieron en un símbolo de consuelo, esperanza y cuidado lejos de casa.

Para honrar su servicio y apoyar a quienes sufrían durante la Gran Depresión, el Ejército de Salvación estableció el primer Día Nacional del Donut en Chicago en 1938. Desde entonces, esta tradición continúa cada año el primer viernes de junio.

Gracias a Fred Meyer, a nuestros dedicados voluntarios, miembros del Advisory Board y personal, quienes ayudaron a compartir sonrisas y celebrar esta significativa tradición con nuestra comunidad.

Last Sunday, we had the privilege of welcoming Lt. Colonel Cindy Foley, Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army Northwest Division. Together with her husband, Lt. Colonel Tim Foley, Divisional Leader for Officer Development, Divisional Youth Secretary, they have dedicated more than 44 years to serving God and communities across various territories and ministries.

It was also an honor to receive them during one of their final ministry visits before entering retirement, marking the conclusion of a long and faithful journey of service to the Lord through The Salvation Army.

During her visit to The Salvation Army Tri-Cities, Lt. Colonel Foley shared a brief but inspiring message focused on the importance of telling the story of God's love, sharing the story of our Salvation Army in Tri-Cities, which has faithfully served our community for more than 83 years, and testifying to what God is still doing in our lives today.

Her Scripture emphasis for this year has been
"1 Peter 3:15 NLV Your heart should be holy and set apart for the Lord God. Always be ready to tell everyone who asks you why you believe as you do. Be gentle as you speak and show respect".

We are grateful to Lt. Colonels Cindy and Tim Foley for their visit, their leadership, their example of faithfulness, and the words of encouragement and spiritual challenge they shared with our congregation. We pray that God will continue to bless them in this new season of life and ministry.

El pasado domingo tuvimos el privilegio de recibir la visita de la Lt. Colonel Cindy Foley, Comandante Divisional de The Salvation Army Northwest Division. Junto a su esposo, Lt. Colonel Tim Foley, Divisional Leader for Officer Development, Divisional Youth Secretary, han dedicado más de 44 años al servicio de Dios y de las comunidades donde han sido llamados a ministrar en diferentes territorios y responsabilidades.

También fue un honor recibirlos durante una de sus últimas visitas ministeriales antes de ingresar al retiro, marcando el cierre de una larga y fiel trayectoria de servicio al Señor a través de The Salvation Army.

Durante su visita a The Salvation Army Tri-Cities, la Lt. Colonel Foley compartió un breve pero inspirador mensaje enfocado en la importancia de contar la historia del amor de Dios, compartir la historia de nuestro Salvation Army en Tri-Cities, que ha servido fielmente a nuestra comunidad por más de 83 años, y testificar de lo que Dios sigue haciendo hoy en nuestras vidas.

Su énfasis bíblico para este año ha sido: 1 Pedro 3:15 KJV Al contrario, santificad a Dios el Señor en vuestros corazones, y estad siempre preparados para presentar defensa con mansedumbre y reverencia ante todo el que os demande razón de la esperanza que hay en vosotros.

Agradecemos a los Lt. Colonels Cindy y Tim Foley por su visita, su liderazgo, su ejemplo de fidelidad y las palabras de ánimo y desafío espiritual que compartieron con nuestra congregación.

Oramos para que Dios continúe bendiciéndolos en esta nueva etapa de sus vidas y ministerio.

Recently, we had the joy of celebrating the mothers in our community — special women who give so much to their families, friends, and community. Thank you for all the love, hard work, and dedication you share every day.
It was a blessing to see so many smiles, friendships, and special moments together.
And remember: you have a place with our family. For 83+ years in the community, we have been building a united and caring family together.

Recientemente tuvimos la alegría de celebrar a las madres de nuestra comunidad, mujeres especiales que dan tanto por sus familias, amigos y comunidad. Gracias por todo el amor, esfuerzo y dedicación que comparten cada día.
Fue una bendición ver tantas sonrisas, amistades y momentos especiales juntos.
Y recuerda: aquí tienes un lugar con nuestra familia. Por más de 83 años en la comunidad, hemos estado construyendo una familia unida y llena de apoyo para todos.

To climb great mountains, you need the right tools.

Many times we think we are victorious because we were able to overcome trials, obstacles, and battles. But the truth is this:
Jesus did not make you a conqueror because you were able to win, but because He loved you before you were even born.

The victory He gives you does not depend on your strength, your achievements, or what the world says about you. It depends on His love, His grace.

As His Word says in Gospel of John 14:27 (New Living Translation) I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid."

The world cannot give you something it does not have.
But Jesus can give you that true peace.
He invites you to put on the right footwear to climb those obstacles you never thought you could overcome:
the peace that only comes from knowing the Good News Jesus wants to give you.

Join us this and every Sunday as we study together:
“How to Think Like a Warrior While Living as Conquerors.”

Come and discover that in Christ, victory is not achieved…
it is received.

Para escalar grandes montañas se requieren las herramientas correctas.

Muchas veces pensamos que somos vencedores porque logramos superar pruebas, obstáculos y batallas. Pero la verdad es esta:
Jesús no te hizo vencedor porque pudiste vencer, sino porque te amó desde antes que nacieras.

La victoria que Él te da no depende de tus fuerzas, de tus logros ni de lo que el mundo diga de ti. Depende de Su amor, de Su gracia.
Como dice Su Palabra en Gospel of John 14:27 (Nueva Traducción Viviente):
Les dejo un regalo: paz en la mente y en el corazón. Y la paz que yo doy es un regalo que el mundo no puede dar. Así que no se angustien ni tengan miedo.

El mundo no puede darte algo que no tiene.
Pero Jesús sí puede darte esa paz verdadera.

Él te invita a ponerte el calzado correcto para escalar esos obstáculos que jamás pensaste poder conquistar: la paz que solo produce conocer las buenas noticias que Jesús tiene para ti.

Te invitamos a acompañarnos este y todos los domingos mientras juntos estudiamos:
“Cómo pensar como un guerrero mientras vivimos como Vencedores.”

Ven y descubre que en Cristo, la victoria no se alcanza…
se recibe.
