HOT-WEATHER DONATIONS NEEDED
Summertime is a fun time! But it is also HOT! Most of our neighbors are without shelter or the ability to escape the excruciating heat in our city.
To help alleviate these stressors, Trinity Center needs sunblock, sunglasses, water or reusable water canisters, umbrellas, cooling towels, shoes, hydration packs, and men's (new or slightly used) summer clothing.
Drop off donations in the large bin in the church lobby. Or, you can purchase wishlist items, using the button below, and have them shipped directly to Trinity Center.

DONATE TO NEXT-TO-NEW
Next-to-New (5435 Burnet Road) accepts clothing, household items, and furniture for resale. A portion of profits is donated annually to local charities and the restoration of our Historic Church.
Our shop works with Trinity Center to share donations that best fit each ministry. Drop off smaller donations to the shop in the large bin in the church lobby.

Thanks to everyone who has generously supported the capital campaign to renovate our Historic Church. The project is on schedule to be completed in July as planned!
Because we’re nearing the end of construction, all our payments are coming due. We ask those who can to complete their pledge. This will enable the church to reduce the amount we have to borrow for a bridge loan.
For any questions regarding this, please contact Director of Stewardship and Planned Giving Eric Malnassy.
