National donuts day is helping many pastries raise money for Salvation Army

WEST SALEM, Wis.) Last Friday, National Donut Day brought many customers to bakeries across the Coulee Region. 

Linda's Bakery in West Salem donated 50 cents to Salvation Army for each donut sold. 

The store sold over 2,200 donuts in a single day, raising over $1,000 for the Salvation Army of La Crosse.

They also put together housing baskets for the Salvation Army to give to people living unsheltered in the area. 

"They funded 23 of the baskets. The baskets include things that folks would need, hygiene items, plastic wear, silverware. The things that folks would normally take for granted, when they move into permanent housing," said Michael Quam, the development director of the Salvation Army. 

From June 23 to June 25, Linda's Bakery will be celebrating their 50th anniversary. 

Customers can grab some cake and coffee during those days. Linda's Bakery will also have door prizes to show their appreciation to the community they call home.
