The Salvation Army Corps of San Bernardino recently welcomed new corps officers, Major Daniel and Captain Anya Henderson.
(San Bernardino, CA) The Salvation Army Corps of San Bernardino recently welcomed new corps officers, Major Daniel and Captain Anya Henderson. The couple previously served the Salvation Army in Estonia, a nation that once was part of the Soviet Union.
“We believe that the best days of the communities that we serve are just ahead of us, and that working together, we will usher in the bright future that we have longed to see! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to stand together for the good of our community. I will be looking forward to meeting you,” said Major Dan Henderson.
Anya was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. At that time, her city was known as Leningrad, and country was known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
In the early 1990s the Soviet Union dissolved. Leningrad, which had been named for the first Soviet leader, Vladimir Lenin, took its original name of St. Petersburg and most of the Soviet nation, the Russian Socialist Republic, reverted to its original name, Russia. There are also more than a dozen smaller nations that gained their freedom from what was the Soviet Union. The Hendersons have served with The Salvation Army in several of these former Soviet Republics.
The Soviet Union had banned most churches from the country, but the Russian government was more receptive. In 1992, it allowed the Salvation Army to return to the Russian Federation.
Anya Henderson was one of the first soldiers to serve in the new Russian Salvation Army. She served as a youth worker, administrative aid, corps program assistant and translator (Russian to English).
Anya graduated from the St. Petersburg University Herzen State College of Education with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education (English Language Emphasis) in 1999. By then she had met and become engaged to Daniel Henderson.
Daniel Henderson is a southern Californian. He graduated in 1989 from Madison High School in San Diego, as a National Merit Scholar, and earned Regent’s Scholarship to the University of California, San Diego. In 1993, Daniel graduated from the University with a bachelor’s of science in biochemistry and cell biology.
From 1993-1994, Daniel Henderson served in the former Soviet republic of Georgia as the Salvation Army’s humanitarian aid coordinator for Western Georgia. During that time, he oversaw the distribution of over 4,000 metric tons of USDA food aid to over 100,000 people, during the instability at the end of the Georgian civil war.
Daniel then returned to southern California, and in 1996 completed the two-year Salvation Army Officer’s Training at the College For Officers Training in Rancho Palos Verdes. Upon graduation and commissioning as an Officer, Daniel was appointed to lead the Petrodvorets Corps in the outskirts of St. Petersburg. He served in that Corps on missionary service for one year, then returned to the USA to take up appointment at the Cathedral City Corps. He then served for one year at the Santee Corps, before being moved to the College For Officer Training as a Training Officer.
In 2001 Anya completed the course of Salvation Army Officer’s Training at the College For Officers Training in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. While she completed her two-year training, she and Daniel were married in March of 2000.
The couple then served together in Cheyenne, Wyoming from 2001-2002 and Narva, Estonia from 2002-2009.
Captain Anya served as the Corps Officer of the Tallinn Kopli Corps from 2009 until coming to San Bernardino. During their time in Tallin, which is the capital of Estonia, Major Daniel served as the Regional Commander for all Salvation Army units in Estonia.
Anya is an accomplished writer and speaker in both Russian and English, and routinely translates speech and written material into both languages. Daniel has spoken and given lectures in Scotland, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Russia, and the United States.
The couple has six 6 children, ranging in age from 16 years to 16 months.

The Salvation Army has been in San Bernardino since 1887
(San Bernardino, Calif.) Thanks to the Salvation Army Corps of San Bernardino (www.salvationarmyusa.org), needy families have a reason to celebrate this Christmas season.
Mothers, families, children and businesses from throughout the community are volunteering with The Salvation Army to make a difference, by spreading the holiday cheer with their donations and time. Volunteers are assembling more than 600 baskets loaded with food and toys scheduled for distribution to needy families.
Basket distribution takes place on December 20th and December 21st, with The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps. Other Salvation Army Corps in Redlands, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Victor Valley, and Ontario will be distributing baskets.
Bringing 50 families each hour, families received a basket of food for a holiday dinner, a gift certificate from Stater Bros. and a bag of toys for their children. Families receiving baskets are selected during an interview and application process.
“We make it fun for the families as they come to receive their donation. We have a small worship service and music with holiday songs. Our goal is to keep things entertaining and uplifting for each family,” said Major Steve Ball, Commander of The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps.
The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps serves the cities of San Bernardino, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland and Rialto. “This undertaking could not be possible without public contributions and red kettle donations which help fund the basket distribution program,” said Major Ball.
“The San Bernardino Corps also needs donations of food every day for those at our Transitional Living Center,” said Major Ball. Up to 75 family members stay in its transitional and emergency family shelters.
The Salvation Army also needs food daily for up to 200 people who receive a free dinner served six nights a week. Approximately 40,000 meals are served annually from the Army’s kitchen located at 746 W. 5th Street in San Bernardino.
It’s not too late to donate food, money, or toys to The Salvation Army. For more information about making donations or volunteering with The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps, call (909) 888-1336. About The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps

The Salvation Army has been in San Bernardino since 1887 (San Bernardino, Calif.) LifeStream Blood Center is helping The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps collect toys for needy kids this Christmas Season by participating in The Salvation Army’s Giving Tree program.
A white Christmas tree sits beautifully in LifeStream’s front lobby. The tree contains cards with the names and wish lists of needy children whose families cannot afford to buy gifts.
Donors simply pluck a tag off the Giving Tree, purchase their gift donations and deliver the gifts to LifeStream, located on 384 West Orange Show Road in San Bernardino.
Gifts are collected by LifeStream employees before being picked up by The Salvation Army. Donors keep the card as an ornament to hang on their own Christmas tree, reminding them of their good deed.
Since the toy drive began on Wednesday, December 12, over 200 children have been adopted to receive toys from blood donors and employees.
The toys are included in 600 baskets donated to needy children and families who are struggling through rough times this Christmas. Families living in San Bernardino, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland and Rialto will be assisted.

(San Bernardino, Calif.) The Salvation Army Corps of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino Police Station and 99.1 KGGI FM (www.salvationarmyusa.org) will bring smiles to many needy children this Christmas with their week long toy drive.
The toys are included in 600 baskets donated to needy children and families who cannot afford to buy toys this Christmas. Families living in San Bernardino, Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland and Rialto will be assisted.
“The idea for the toy drive was suggested by Police Chief Robert Handy during a Salvation Army Board meeting,” said Sergeant Spann of the San Bernardino Police Department. Over 350 Toys were collected at the San Bernardino Police Station. “We’ve had so much fun collecting the toys. Sometimes our officers play with the toys,” said Spann.
Officer Paul Kelly volunteered for the first time with The Salvation Army. “I’m happy to do it, and I love doing this work for the children,” said Kelly.
There is a long list of toy drive participants that also includes 1140 AM The TOAD, 1440 AM Funny, Crest Chevrolet, Harlow’s Kitchen Concepts, and Best Price Auto Glass.
Robert Lazar, owner of Best Price Auto Glass, was asked by Chief Handy to participate in the toy drive. “Being a Christian, I’ve always been a giving person. I immediately agreed to help the police station and The Salvation Army,” said Lazar.
Lazar understands what it means to be a needy child. As a child refugee in Iraq, Lazar lived in tents with 8,000 people for 4 years. Lazar finally came to the U.S. as a high school freshman. “It was scary. The U.S. was a new place and I spoke zero English,” said Lazar.
D-Dizzle of 99.1 KGGI volunteered his time to raise toys. “When the community knows we are going to be out anywhere, they want to be apart of it,” said D-Dizzle. D-Dizzle has volunteered six years in a row with The Salvation Army. “99.1 KGGI loves giving back to the community and providing for the less fortunate,” said D-Dizzle.
“This is the first time I’ve been heavily involved with The Salvation Army, and I love it,” said Evelyn Erives of 99.1 KGGI. “Every year we try to do something special for our listeners, there are people who need help and helping them is what it’s all about.”
This year 99.1 KGGI DJs participated in The Salvation Army’s Adopt-A-Family program. “We bought gifts and needed items to get this family through tough times,” said Erives
Erives demonstrates strong leadership as a volunteer. She recently won the National Broadcasting Award for Volunteerism. “I volunteer regularly with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This year we were able to raise over $100,000 in donations,” said Erives.

(SAN BERNARDINO, Calf.) It might seem like a very small gesture in the grand scheme of things, but when the local Salvation Army Corps (www.salvationarmyusa.org) and several businesses join forces to make the holiday season memorable for needy children, it makes a huge difference in so many lives.
Known as the Giving Tree program, it revolves around actual Christmas trees, which are set up in local malls the day after Thanksgiving. Giving Tree volunteers match shoppers with the hundreds of children who are relying on The Salvation Army this year to bring them a Merry Christmas.

José Gonzalez is a first time volunteer with The Salvation Army, and chose to help the Giving Tree Program at the Inland Center Mall this year. “It feels good to be volunteering and collecting toys for kids this Christmas,” said Gonzalez. Salvation Army volunteers make sure the presents are marked for each specific child.
Gonzalez is also a graduate from The Salvation Army’s six month rehabilitation program. He has now entered into The Salvation Army’s Path To Prosperity Adult Rehabilitation Center, a Transitional Living program. This 18 month program is one of a kind, and assists its participants in obtaining the skills they need to become self-supporting and financially independent after battling substance abuse. “The Salvation Army has helped me get my life together,” said Gonzalez.
Shoppers wishing to participate will find cards attached to the Giving Tree. These cards include the names and wish lists of needy children whose families cannot afford to buy gifts. Shoppers simply pluck a tag off the Giving Tree and head for the appropriate store to purchase their gift donations. Shoppers keep the card as an ornament to hang on their own Christmas tree, reminding them of their good deed.
Larry Rangal, of Highland, donated two toys to the Giving Tree Program this year. Charity has been an ongoing tradition for Rangal since marrying his wife 20 years ago. “This is one of our little quirks. Now that our kids are grown-up and out of the house, we thought we’d provide toys for other children,” said Rangal. “It makes you feel good too.”
Jill Grace, of Highland, was shopping with three year old Allie Chavez when she noticed the Giving Tree and decided to donate two large bags with about 10 toys. “These children are not asking for much,” said Grace. “What child asks for monopoly, especially nowadays.”
Grace became involved with The Salvation Army during the September 11th tragedy. “I have always been a giving person, and I thought to myself ‘how can I help’,” said Grace. By volunteering with The Salvation Army, Grace was able to provide that help. “Me and my husband helped The Salvation Army serve meals to the workers at ground zero,” said Grace.
“This is a great way to start a tradition with your own family, by selecting a gift for a needy child together. The gifts are based on their individual wishes and for some children, it may be the only gift they receive all year,” said Major Nancy Ball of the San Bernardino Corps of The Salvation Army.
“Soccer balls, dolls and clothes are just a few items on each child’s wish list,” said Major Ball. “Shoppers who participate in the program are encouraged to shop for more than what is needed on the list. I can’t think of a better way for business owners and managers to help the community and spread the spirit of Christmas.”
The San Bernardino Corps of The Salvation Army has a Giving Tree in the Inland Center Mall (500 Inland Center Drive, San Bernardino) near the food court. Donations are accepted until December 24th, all days except Sundays.
The Salvation Army is looking for other business owners and managers who would like to have a tree at their place of business for employees and/or customers.

“Every year, the community and volunteers come together to provide the food preparation and service of holiday meals to dinner guests,” said Major Steve Ball, Commander of The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corp. “Our volunteers really do an outstanding job, helping to make a difference for those who are less fortunate during the holiday season, as well as throughout the year.”
Many of the services provided by the Salvation Army, such as this annual Community Christmas dinner, are made possible through in-kind donations and money raised through the Red Kettle Bell Ringer campaign. Each Christmas, Inland Empire Salvation Army Corps combine to serve more than 1,000 people holiday meals.
The hungry families are joined by hundreds of volunteers who help prepare the food and serve meals to the families. Along with asking volunteers to help serve food, the Salvation Army is encouraging people to donate turkeys or hams, side dishes and other food by calling (909) 888-1336.
