The donut strike was born out of a joint effort by the Pensacola Police Department, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Pensacola Fire Department, Escambia County Fire Department, local businesses and the community to turn hunger into hope. With a leading view of hunger and its impact, first responders vowed to put the donuts down and do something to help, and the community supported their efforts.
