Our community showed up in full force, enabling us to make an impactful donation to the Salvation Army. This act of support from our community goes to show how a simple treat like a donut can help make a difference. We're humbled to play a part in aiding the Salvation Army in their mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination."

This event was a reflection of that commitment and the incredible support we've received over the years. We believe in giving back to the community that has supported us and helping people in need.
