Inland Empire Community Newspapers • November 22, 2012 • Page A5 Salvation Army luncheon raises $49,000 By Cynthia Mendoza O n Wednesday, November 14 the Salvation Army of San Bernardino hosted their annual luncheon fundraiser, this year at their (soon-to-be) new facility on Pacific Street in San Bernardino. The luncheon is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year, apart from their traditional and iconic Red Kettle program. This year’s event was a “hard hat” theme in honor of their new facil- ity, which if all goes according to plan, may open in August or Sep- tember of 2013. The title of the luncheon was “Build With Us”, in honor of their upcoming facility, and the keynote speaker was for- mer San Manuel Chairman and San Bernardino County Supervi- sor-elect James Ramos who gave an inspirational address of hope and encouragement. “It was the highlight of the event,” said Major Stephen Ball, who heads up the San Bernardino Salvation Army. The luncheon also featured the very individuals that the Salvation Army serves through their numer- ous recovery, spiritual and other programs. About 20 clients partic- ipated in what’s called “Cardboard Testimonies” wherein they hold up a flat piece of cardboard and on one side in thick black marker is written what their life was like be- fore they came to the program and what their life was like afterwards. Some of the testimonies told sto- ries of recovery from addiction, homelessness and abuse. The luncheon raised $49,000. The Salvation Army’s biggest project at this time is the remodel- ing of an existing building, which will serve as a new home to their spiritual programs and administra- tive offices. Their yearly holiday programs however are still in full swing. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, they will be serving hot meals from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their current facil- ity on 5th street in San Bernardino. They are also in the process of col- lecting toys for 3,000 kids and they will be giving out food boxes to 600 families that will include gift cards to Stater Bros. They are also gearing up for their iconic and well known Red Kettle program, which has been desribed as a “fundraiser for the common person.” “Anyone can participate,” said Maj. Ball about this effort. “Kids drop change in and anyone can do- nate.” Ball said that they hope to net $65,000 this year from the Red Kettle fundraiser. The Salvation Army is located in San Bernardino but serves High- land, Colton, Grand Terrace, Ri- alto, and Bloomington too, so the funds raised are used to help many people, not just those in San Bernardino. Maj. Ball concluded by offering words of encouragement. “Thanksgiving and Christmas are wonderful holidays of hope and community,” he said. “Even with all our struggles and all that is going on in the world, there is hope to be found.” For more information on these and other Salvation Army pro- grams, call (909) 888-1336.
