Donut Day Returns to St. Helens December 8
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 20, 2018
St. Helens, Ore. – The St. Helens Police Department has partnered with the Columbia Pacific Food Bank to host the 16th annual Donut Day fundraiser on Saturday, December 8, 2018, beginning at 7 a.m.
Donut Day is an annual tradition at the Police Department that allows people to trade their canned and non-perishable food items for fresh Krispy Kreme donuts. The fundraiser is hosted at the St. Helens police station located at 150 S. 13th Street in St. Helens.
Guests can trade one can of food for one donut or $10 cash per dozen. There is a limit of two dozen donuts per person. The event continues until all the donuts are gone.
Guests should bring cameras to take family holiday photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus who will be at the event. Live music will be performed throughout the day, KOHI AM 1600 will be onsite broadcasting live, and Dutch Bros Coffee will have a booth.
Donut Day has become one of the largest single-day food collection events for the Columbia Pacific Food Bank. Over the last 15 years, Donut Day has resulted in the collection of almost 55,000 pounds of food and over $42,000 in cash for the Food Bank.
It is recommended that people arrive as early in the day as possible to ensure that donuts are still available. The St. Helens Police Department will have 325 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for participants.
Police agencies throughout Columbia County participate in the Donut Day fundraiser. Rainier Police Department, Scappoose Police Department, and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (in Clatskanie) will also be hosting their own Donut Day events on December 8.
The St. Helens Police Department is currently accepting donations to assist with the purchase of the donuts for Donut Day. If you would like to contribute, donations may be dropped off at the St. Helens Police Department, 150 S. 13th Street, St. Helens. Office hours are 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The station lobby is closed from noon until 1 p.m. for lunch.
