Feeding Programs
The Food Pantry provides food for those unemployed or who have fallen through the cracks. We assist them in preventing utility shut-off rental assistance and provide them with food, clothing, furniture, and holiday assistance (food, clothing, and toys). Through our Corps, we use volunteers to assist in stocking our pantry, sorting clothing, packing food, collecting clothing and toys, and aiding in distribution. Family Emergency Shelter
A nine-room, 30-bed family shelter is open 24/7/365. The Family shelter provides a temporary, safe place for families to stay during their housing crisis. The shelter provides case management, daily hygiene products, an on-site laundry facility, and three meals a day for the residents. All families in need of this service should call 211. Youth Music Program
This program offers music classes for children, including brass instrument instruction and singing. The program’s age group is seven-years-old and up. Its purpose is to improve not only musical skills but also social skills. All performance pieces are Christian-based, so children can grow spiritually and mentally. Our staff/volunteers are dedicated to helping children find their musical talents and developing them, encouraging participants to share what makes them unique. Opportunities for public performance and contests are offered so that children can experience personal achievement. Holiday Programs
We distributed 300 Thanksgiving Food boxes and 4,000 Christmas Toys for 800 kids during this past holiday season. With the help and generosity of businesses, schools, social groups, churches, and individuals, we provided happiness to those in need during the holiday season. Summer Camp
Camp CONNRI is situated on 272 acres of rolling hills in Ashford, Connecticut. Campers enjoy a wide variety of activities for a week, including swimming, hiking, fishing, boating, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, nature studies, arts and crafts, and much more. Greater Waterbury sponsored more than 20 children for summer camp this year.

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.

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!
