Chapel on the Green Christmas Gift Bags
Every year Trinity provides a holiday gift bag to over 120 people who are experiencing homelessness or poverty. Contact Debby Kraemer if you would like to make a contribution! Then join us at Chapel on the Green on Sunday, (date TBD) at 2pm for worship together, and to help distribute these gifts.
Guidelines
We suggest people donate 10 gift bags containing 5-6 items (see below), though we also accept bulk items for assembling additional gift bags. This year we are requesting that people package these items in separate ziplock gallon bags, as we will be putting these inside backpacks that we have already received via a generous donation. Be in touch with Debby Kraemer before (date TBD) to confirm & coordinate your contribution!

The Giving Tree
Keep a lookout for the Giving Tree, which appears every winter in the Narthex (entryway) at Trinity! The ornaments on the tree represent specific requests and needs of people in our community - take one or more ornaments, buy the gift, wrap it, and tape the ornament to the top of the gift. Gifts will be collected in a box in the Narthex and distributed by Debby Kraemer.
Christmas Pageant Toy Drive
Bring a gift to Trinity's Annual Christmas Pageant (2020 date TBD) to support the most vulnerable families in our community. We accept donations of unwrapped toys, of a non-military nature, for children ages 3 months through 10 years. These donations are coordinated by Bob Windom and distributed by the ‘r kids Family Center.
Abraham's Tent
December 30 - January 6, 2019
This year Trinity will host 10-12 homeless men for a week as part of Abraham’s Tent, a rotating shelter program run by the Columbus House through the generosity of local congregations.
