Salvation Army receives 20 tons of food for summer program

The San Bernardino Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints has donated a semi-truck full of nonperishable food to The Salvation Army San Bernardino Citadel summer food program.

The partnership between the two entities strengthened noticeably two years ago, when the Church of Jesus Christ members helped out with The Salvation Army’s annual toy drive.

The San Bernardino Stake of the Church includes most of the City of San Bernardino, Crestline, Running Springs, Lake Arrowhead and a sizable portion of the City of Highland. This dovetails with the Salvation Army’s San Bernardino Corps, making the partnership a natural fit.

Major Isaias Braga, Corps Officer of The Salvation Army San Bernardino/Redlands Corp, said, “This partnership is essential for the fulfillment of the Salvation Army mission in our region.

This initiative reveals the deep concern the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints has for the less privileged of our community, for which we are very grateful.”
