(San Bernardino, Calif.) This Thanksgiving, the San Bernardino Corps of the Salvation Army will once again provide Thanksgiving dinner to help needy families of the Inland Valley.
The San Bernardino Corps will serve dinner from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 28 at its Corps headquarters building on 746 West Fifth St.
“Times are really tough for everyone, especially at this time of year when people really need an extra hand to get them through the holiday season,” said Major Daniel Henderson, San Bernardino Corps officer. “We have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner planned, complete with turkey, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, vegetables and pie, and all are welcome to join us.”
The annual Thanksgiving meal brings in hundreds of families, single mothers with children and individuals who do not have the means to provide themselves a Thanksgiving dinner. People come from throughout the Inland Valley for this Thanksgiving dinner, which often serves close to 300 people each year.
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.
“An effort of this size is not a one person show,” said Major Henderson. “Volunteers are needed to help prepare and serve the food along with decorating the facility. It truly is a community effort in making this event a success. Thanksgiving should be a special day for everyone, not just for those who can afford it.”

(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) On Saturday, Nov. 9th local Boy Scout troops do a good deed for the Salvation Army and its efforts to feed hungry people.
Boy Scouts from San Bernardino, Rialto, Colton, Highland, Grand Terrace, and Bloomington will help collect food for the Salvation Army. Major Daniel Henderson, of The Salvation Army’s San Bernardino Corps, estimates about 13 troops will be helping to raise food for the local Salvation Army. They are participating in a nationwide event the Boy Scouts of America calls “Scouting for Food.”
Each Scouting for Food drive benefits a local charity. For instance, troops within the Arrowhead District serve the San Bernardino County mountain communities, and will take their food to a shelter in Blue Jay.
On Thanksgiving Day, the Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps hosts a Thanksgiving Dinner that often brings in 300 people. Although much of the food served at that dinner is fresh, some of the non-perishable items the Boy Scouts collect may be included.
In December, the San Bernardino Corps assembles holiday food baskets for more than 600 local families. Canned food donations received from the Boy Scouts will be included in those baskets. In addition to the holiday baskets, a delicious Christmas Dinner is served on Christmas Day for those in need.
The San Bernardino Corps also needs food every day for those at its Hospitality House homeless shelter. Up to 75 family members can 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 West 5th Street in San Bernardino.
The Boy Scouts will be receiving food donations at these Stater Bros. Store Locations:

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.

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.
Many of the services provided by The Salvation Army are made possible through in-kind donations and volunteer service. For more information about participating in the Giving Tree program, making donations or volunteering with The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps, call (909) 888-1336.
