The Sackville Nova Scotia Corps of the Salvation Army is into its third year of transformation by Captains Carson and Teresa Decker.
I was astonished to learn of the scope and depth of the Carsons’ impact so far…and I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, photos and video in the weeks ahead.
For example, their breakfast program at Harold T. Barrett Junior High has been a huge hit, filling a significant need for hungry stomachs.

The Decker Team: Kyley (2), Capt. Teresa, Capt. Carson, Makayla (5)
They’ve begun a “Pioneer Club” with about 40 girls and boys participating in fun activities and badge-work.
The Community Response Unit is making regular stops in the community of 62,000 while the Decker’s are also directing a “basic shelf” cooking support program. That’s where folks on a tight budget can get valuable cooking lessons to make those dollars go farther and feed the family better.
That’s just the tip of the proverbial ice burg regarding the Army’s exciting interaction with the Sackville Beaverbank Kinsac community. Stay tuned for much more as I continue my travels.
Watch this space for more stories and pictures of my experiences with the Salvation Army. You can post your comments here as well---I look forward to seeing them.
