The first day of school is filled with excitement, anticipation, and big dreams for the year ahead.

For many families, it's also a time of long supplies lists, tight budgets, and difficult financial decisions.

Together, we can help ensure more children walk into the classroom with the support they need to focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and discovering what's possible.

Because every child deserves a strong start.

🍩 More than 100 years after The Salvation Army's Donut Lassies served soldiers during World War I, their legacy lives on. National Donut Day was established by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor their service. Today, we're still finding meaningful ways to connect with our communities.

Earlier this week, Salvation Army officers, staff, volunteers, and Shieldy - the Salvation Army mascot - gathered at the Pennsylvania State Capitol to celebrate National Donut Day by sharing complimentary coffee, donuts, and appreciation with legislators, staff, and visitors while highlighting the history behind the annual observance founded by The Salvation Army.
