School Supply Drive!

Even though school just got out for the summer, we don’t stop helping children as they get ready for next school year.

There is a list below and a bin in Handberry Hall to place your items. Thank you in advance for your help in getting these students in our community ready and able to have a great school year!

Help Needed for Members of Good Samaritan Ministries

Over the past few years, we have partnered with Good Samaritan Ministries and Pastor Crispin in various ways. As you may know, Good Samaritan Ministries is a church primarily made up of refugees. While all of the refugees in Good Samaritan Ministries have come to the United States legally, recent funding cuts have greatly impacted their ability to have what they need to survive. In particular, Pastor Crispin has four single mothers who do not have what they need to support their families. Should you feel led to help, below you will see the list of basic needs that they are requesting help with. If you are able to donate any of the items below, it would be greatly appreciated. Please bring your donations to Trinity and place them in the bin marked Refugee Help. 

After talking to our brothers and sisters, here is the list of basic needs:

1. Bags of rice

2. Dry beans

3. Diapers (baby of 8 months)

4. Vegetable oil

5. Sugar & Salt

6. Onions & Garlic

7. Cleaning supplies

9. Feminine hygiene supplies

10. Soap/Body lotion/Shampoo/Deodorant
