Thanks to a foundation that began with years of support from congregations like yours, DuPagePads is excited to announce that the Spring of 2022 will mark the opening of our new Interim Housing Center, a place where families and individuals can check in to a safe room of their own. A 130-room, repurposed hotel just off of I-88, on Butterfield Road, this property will bring warm beds and COVID-safe rooms for individuals and families suffering from homelessness.
Trinity member and CASA volunteer (Court Appointed Special Advocate), Brenda Lotesta is working with children who are in need of clothing and shoes. Used clothing or Target gift cards would be appreciated. For more specific information, please email Brenda or phone 630-605-9364.
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:

As a community committed to being a place of Holy Welcome we believe getting to know one another is sacred work and we do this each Sunday morning at Coffee Hour. In order to continue this sacred work we need volunteers to host Coffee Hour following the 10:00 am service. Making coffee and providing a few treats (optional) is all that is required. Mentors are available to assist! If you have questions or would like to volunteer, please email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
