Social Programs

At our Parish House, Trinity daily serves hot meals to the homeless year-round as well as providing a food pantry where families can receive a bag of groceries, clothing, personal items or a helping hand to carry them through their crisis.

Trinity Church is well-known for its wide range of services to persons with special needs. For many years it has provided emergency food for homeless persons and for families who have run out of funds.

Trinity is a full partner in Peter and Paul Community Services, a joint ministry with St. Vincent and S.S. Peter and Paul Catholic churches. This agency helps homeless men through a year-round emergency shelter and transitional housing, as well as residential care for the homeless mentally ill. Also, a meals program serves hot evening dinners to the elderly, homeless and low-income people in our neighborhood.

Trinity was a founding partner in the Good Samaritan Service Center for the Homeless, now joined in a new ministry called Humanitri. "Good Sam" finds affordable housing for homeless persons and provides other supportive services. Trinity is also a member of the Near South side Employment Coalition. One of Trinity's pastors serves as a member of the board of Doorways, Inc. providing supportive services to those living with H.I.V./A.I.D.S.

Friends and members of Trinity are welcome to assist in any of these services to our community.
