REOCCURING

Gilmore's Monday MealThis decades-old ministry began under the leadership of Beverly and Earl Gilmore after their retirement. Volunteers serve lunch every Monday in the fellowship hall to our friends and neighbors. They begin between 10:30 and 11:30am and serve a hot meal from 12-1pm. New volunteers are always welcome!
|
|
The Lord's TableEvery Saturday at 12pm a hot meal is offered to anyone in need. In partnership with Westport Neighborhood Cooperative, Trinity members assist every Saturday and organize the entire meal on the fourth Saturday of each month.

|
Community GardenThe garden plot is just a few blocks from Trinity and produces in season fresh vegetables used in the lunches or offered to the guests to take with them.
|
|
Food Pantry and The Red BasketThe Food Pantry is open every first Sunday of the month. The items for the food pantry are supplied by Trinity members, Harvesters, and the donations of the Senior Companions. Although church members can and do donate food all year, The Red Basket (a small grocery cart) is put out as a specific reminder to donate to the food pantry. The pantry gives out a bag of groceries to anyone who is in need.

|
Senior CompanionsThe Senior Companion Program meets at Trinity every second Tuesdays from 8:30am-2:00pm. This program trains people of lower income to serve as home-care companions to other home-bound low-income seniors. It is funded by the federal government and provides a small stipend for those who need more income in their retirement. Contact Alicia Alcorn or visit their website for more information.
