Today, we remember.

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, the memories of that day — and the days that followed — remain with us.

Our very own Danbury Corps Officer, Major Gil Parkhurst, was boots on the ground at Ground Zero, serving alongside other Salvation Army responders during an unimaginable time.

Read Major Parkhurst’s firsthand reflections and learn more about how The Salvation Army responded in the aftermath of 9/11.

We remember those we lost, honor those who responded, and remain grateful for all who served.

25 years later, we remember the lives lost, honor the heroes, and stand in gratitude for the courage and compassion shown in the days that followed September 11, 2001.

The Salvation Army was privileged to serve alongside first responders and communities in a time of unimaginable need.

We will never forget.

Happy Labor Day.

Jim and Sherry’s story is a reminder that love can find us at any stage of life. Read how their relationship blossomed during Older Adult Ministries Camp at Camp CONNRI.

The two lived in the same apartment complex and occasionally crossed paths, but they barely knew one another. It wasn't until they both attended The Salvation Army's Senior Camp at Camp CONNRI in Ashford, Connecticut, that everything changed.

Family Camp 2026 brought us a meaningful time of worship, fellowship, and carnival games! Members of corps all across CT and RI were invited to Camp CONNRI to celebrate the love and joy of togetherness with their families. The children played carnival games, collected tickets, and traded them in for lots of prizes!
