Salvation Army Donut Line

During the Great Depression, many people migrated to Spokane in search of work and lodging. Community outreach by The Salvation Army provided food and shelter. The Salvation Army sold 'Famous Doughnuts' as a way of raising funds, and was known for its donut and coffee lines at its shelters and hostels.
