Reaching out to those in need is a fundamental part of who we are as a community of faith. At the heart of our various ministries is the understanding that we are able to offer hope because we have found our hope in God. We offer aid not out of our abundance, but out of God’s abundance. It is Jesus who instructs us to care for one another, and it is God who gives us the grace to follow Jesus’ command.
St. Vincent’s Soup Kitchen
St. Vincent’s kitchen is an ecumenical effort of five Hampton churches that provides dinner five nights a week from mid-October through mid-May. Trinity sponsors three teams of volunteers who share the duties of preparing and serving as many as 80 meals on a given night. If you’d like to get involved please contact the office at 926-5688.
Trinity’s Food Pantry
Trinity supports a food pantry that provides shelf stable food and personal hygiene products to families in need. Last year Trinity’s pantry gave away more than $10,000 worth of food and household products to families in need. Trinity holds a monthly in-gathering of supplies for the pantry on the first Sunday of each month. We also receive donations from the Boy Scouts, the Postal Workers, local schools, and generous individuals and businesses in the community. If you's like to get involved with the Food Pantry, please call the office at 926-5688.
Haven Health Care Visitors
Haven Health Care, a local nursing home, is the glad beneficiary of a group of very dedicated volunteers who weekly visit with and offer support and friendship to many of the residents. Led by our Deacon, Ginny Slawnwhite, these pastoral visitors devote many hours to alleviating loneliness, fear and anxiety so many of these residents experience on a regular basis. On the first Sunday of each month we gather with our friends at Haven Health Center for a celebration of Holy Eucharist. To become a pastoral visitor, please contact the office at 926-5688.
TASC (Transportation Assistance for Seacoast Citizens)
This is another ecumenical effort of six area churches that provides free rides to senior citizens and those with disabilities to medical and other vital appointments. Volunteers are needed to provide rides and to schedule rides. Training is offered for both positions. For more information about volunteering, or to get more information about who is eligible for these services, contact the TASC program director at 926-9026.
