THE RED CROSS CLUBMOBILE SERVICE in World War II is little remembered today. The Clubmobile was a mobile service club in a "deuce and a half" truck staffed by "Clubmobile Girls" or "Donut Dollies" that provided servicemen with food, entertainment, and a connection to home. The Red Cross had supported U.S. armies in the field since the Spanish American War in 1898 when Clara Barton led the organization to Cuba.It was the sole nonmilitary agency designated to provide welfare and recreation services for the US Armed Forces in World War II. With the official job description of “club services worker,” Clubmobile crews, usually three young women, were tasked to prepare and serve coffee and doughnuts, and other reminders of “home” that might allow the soldiers to momentarily forget the stresses of war. After D Day the women volunteers who staffed the Clubmobiles followed the American armies into the field often serving on the front lines and sharing all the hardships of the combat soldier.

Join us Saturday, March 8th to learn more about the Red Cross Clubmobile Service with historian Carolyn Ivanoff at 10:00am.
