Community Partnership & Outreach Ministries

Volunteers
needed
for Pandemic
​Assistance

Trinity Youth Feeding Ministry:
  • ​Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Youth Feeding Ministry has adapted to ensure that residents of the Upper Darby Connect shelter are still served.  We are seeking volunteers to prepare and deliver the main meal to the shelter, and other volunteers to separately prepare and deliver the salad or dessert.  All families need to use "no contact" delivery methods to ensure their own safety and the safety of the shelter's residents and staff.  Please volunteer on the Sign-Up Genius, thank you!
 IHN​ Interfaith Housing Network:
  • Homelessness knows no virus - IHN/Family Promise requests donations of paper towels, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, and gift cards to Giant, Acme and Target.  Everyone at the shelter is healthy and close to getting their housing. Thank you all for your support in these troubling times. We know homelessness does not stop because of the world; it continues, and we might see it on the rise because of the circumstances. We are all doing our part.  To sign up to volunteer, click here.
​St. Mary's Food Cupboard and Chester Eastside:
  • ​Outreach continues to prioritize supporting St. Mary's Food Cupboard and Chester Eastside's food cupboard during the pandemic. Donations are much reduced and this is an immediate need. We are asking for cash/check donations (payable to Trinity Church) or via Paypal on the church website (add a note for food cupboard). We will purchase the food and deliver to St. Mary's and Chester Eastside. If you prefer to make a large grocery purchase and need help with delivery or information on how to do so yourself, please contact Cathy Gardner at cgardner119@gmail.com. 

Community partnerships and outreach are central to the mission of Trinity.  We are dedicated not only to provide financial support but also to meaningfully engage with our surrounding communities.  In addition to the opportunities highlighted below, please visit our Thrift Shop page to learn how this ministry has long-supported the community.
