BOARD OF DIRECTORS B y the time Teresa was 16, she found herself married and pregnant. When she had nowhere to turn, The Salvation Army was there. Around Christmas, The Salvation Army dropped off bags of gifts and other essential items to the young mother's home. Since the day she received those gifts, Teresa was determined to help others. She's continued to volunteer and is now the chairperson of The Salvation Army's Litchfield County Service Unit. "Always focus on the big picture," Teresa said. "Stay true to yourself and follow God's will. And when you can, give back to others." – Teresa Spring , Salvation Army volunteer, Litchfield T he Salvation Army reveals an empathetic, caring community of people who serve those in greatest need. We believe that we are all invited and entrusted to accept the invitation to meet our neighbors in all of their vulnerability and brokenness. Joining hands with others to promote change creates a positive culture in both the giver and the receiver. The Salvation Army welcomes us — listens to our deepest desires to make real and lasting change — and provides numerous opportunities to respond with compassion. – Julie and Dean Rybeck , Glastonbury
