Majors Martin and Leanne Cordner discuss their experiences relocating from their native UK – Leanne is from Northern Ireland and Martin, England – to a post in the US, the differences and the things that remain the same, everyone needs a bed and a way to put food on the table. They spoke of their mission and the Salvation Army’s commitment to serving Delawareans where they live, with programming for those fighting addiction, families in need of shelter or food, opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, and fighting human trafficking. Major Martin points out that 125,370 people in Delaware are food insecure, that’s 1 in 8 residents, and homelessness increased 16% over the previous year. We talked about their signature projects, their food pantries and children’s services and the funding they need; the Red Kettle campaign is just part of their fundraising, ‘Love Beyond’ invites us to help suffering neighbors throughout the year. This year’s holiday kick off will be the Delaware Blue Knights Holiday Toy Run on October 19th with the Red Kettles coming out at Thanksgiving. They now offer cashless options, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, QR code and ‘Swipe and Go.’ To learn more about the Salvation Army Delaware Command visit SalvationArmyDelaware.org See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
