Trinity Supports Our Community!
Our Social Outreach Coordinator, Sue Hinckley, offered these words in a recent newsletter:
Together we support our community
Miracles happen every time we do God’s work. I truly believe this and have watched it happen over and over. Just this morning, my wife, Linda, took nine cases–more than 100 quarts!–of apple and cranberry juice she had received from a food pantry and delivered them to the McAuley House. This is the first time she had been given so much juice. Don’t you know that Larry, the kitchen manager, told her that his juice supplier had canceled and he thought there would be none for the 300 meals served that day.
Likewise, the folks at the Edgewood-Pawtuxet Ecumenical Food Closet at the Church of the Transfiguration are always so appreciative of the weekly food donations we bring from the collection basket in Trinity’s hall. So many times I hear “This is just what we need” or “We just ran out of these.” I wish I could somehow bring back their gratitude so you would all know how much your efforts are appreciated.
Our Trinity family has always stepped up to the plate whenever there is a request for donations: food, clothing, school supplies, socks, underwear, hats, gloves, coats or whatever else is requested by groups in the community. I am continually amazed at the generosity our parish shows for local families in need.
And here we are again gathering food and donations for Thanksgiving. I put out a goal of thirty meals knowing full well that you will exceed my expectations. I know this because I have faith that once again, by working together, we will multiply our love and support in our community. Every gift a blessing.
