DonutDollies.com features several areas for you to learn more about the Donut Dollies and our project. At the top of each page you’ll see tabbed sections, with the highlights being the Donut Dollie Detail, In The News and Photos & Videos.

Both of those sections feature hundreds of photos shared with us by Donut Dollies, as well as several archived interview videos and Q&A sessions featuring Donut Dollies.

Honoring all who served on this Veterans Day

Today we honor the men and women who have served our country – our brave veterans. America’s history is built on the dedication and service of our military personnel who have put themselves in harms way, far from home and loved ones. They all deserve our thoughts, prayers and thanks for their dedication and sacrifice. On behalf of the Donut Dollies Documentary, we wish to extend our gratitude to our Veterans and the Red Cross Donut Dollies who served them.
