Trinity’s Love Our Neighbors Committee is focusing on ways in which parishioners can become more directly involved in our outreach efforts. Some of the regular programs we currently offer include the Angel Tree at Christmas, Habitat for Humanity work days, and volunteering for the Arm in Arm food pantry, among others. 

At the beginning of this school year, we sponsored a program to provide backpacks filled to the brim with school supplies for 100 elementary through high school age students identified by our outreach partner, HomeFront. The backpacks, which included canvas lunch boxes, were purchased with our Outreach budget, with supplies donated by nearly 40 parishioners.

We want to thank our donors for their generosity, including Betsy Ashton, Mary Bremer, Dulcie Bull, Matthew Dodd-Nickles, Lynda Dodd, Connie Esher, Steve Evans, Martin Geiger, Dan & Nell Haughton, Terri Hermann, Lucia Huebner, Deborah Jordan, Joyce Kelleher, Mary Ann Keyes, Allan King, Karen Leckey, Dirk Maney, Thalia Mingo, Dorothy Morin, Costa Papastephanou, Leslie Jennings Rowley, Tom & Melissa Scott, Tara Sikma, Jennifer Stone, Phillip Unetic, Ann Zultner, and many other donors who gave anonymously.

Trinity’s Outreach is enabling 100 students in our community to start their school year off right, and that’s just one more way we can “Love Our Neighbors.”
