During the COVID-19 crisis, Trinity has been continuing to support local charities that care for those most impacted. If you wish to help these organizations directly, please look at the list below:

- Food pantries are experiencing a huge increase in demand for their services. They need both material and money, although, if you can donate money, that money will probably go further than the food items you provide.
