As the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting economic hardship is shaping the new normal, Trinity Outreach sought out local programs that could make the maximum positive impact with limited resources and an uncertain budget. It is with great pride that we have targeted Mobile Hope, a program that has received Outreach assistance in the past, as the recipient of our collective support. Specifically, Mobile Hope sought a solution to delivering fresh, perishable food to those in need. Trinity Outreach enabled Mobile Hope to rent a refrigerated van for a period of three months to move toward better living conditions. This is a singular event with no long-term agreements, but a major factor in shaping what could be a long recovery for our local community.
This was a coordinated action voted on by the Outreach Committee and Vestry and it points to our stewardship of donations that are executed in the spirit that they are made. The Outreach Committee is looking at more targets of opportunity near-term that embrace not only the funding aspect, but the physical participation by the congregation.
In an effort to support the community and to help all families receive the essential tools for learning during this unprecedented time, a bus has been parked in our overflow parking lot that is equipped with a hotspot.
This means that parents can pull into the parking lot and access internet service allowing their children to do online classes. This will be exclusive to the families that have the password.
