We thrilled to launch our partnership with The Salvation Army of Norristown for National Doughnut Day. For every dozen doughnuts sold on Doughnut Day, The Dapper Doughnut will give a dozen to the local community

National Doughnut Day originated as a fundraiser to help The Salvation Army of Chicago during the Great Depression. The goal was to help those in need and honor The Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers. Honor the history of the holiday and help us to brighten someone's day.

Biloxi Blues centers on the experiences of a young army recruit, Eugene Morris Jerome, during World War II. At basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi, Eugene is determined to use his army experiences to help his writing career, and keeps detailed memoirs about his experiences. Eugene and his fellow soldiers-in-training suffer under a hard-nosed drill sergeant, attempt to stomach the terrible army food served up in the mess hall, and bond over an adventure to visit the local prostitute. Along the way, Eugene is forced to learn about authority, danger, sex, assimilation, bigotry, homosexuality and love. In the process, he discovers that life can be both ugly and tender.
