Trinity Center is a unique environment, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve for the past five and a half years a population I love dearly. While my focus was to enhance the well-being and quality of life of those experiencing homelessness, it quickly became apparent that my well-being was beautifully impacted by the day to day interactions with our neighbors, as well as staff and volunteers.

This is an exciting time for us at Trinity Center as we prepare to gather for our annual April fundraiser, the Barbara Jordan Celebration. We will eat, drink and be inspired as we raise money to support our mission of helping Austin’s homeless neighbors. We also will proudly honor the extraordinary service of the Sarahan Family with our prestigious Pat Hazel Award, named after the beloved priest who spent many years as our spiritual leader.

Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers, right? It’s a reminder that we should love everyone every day of the year. While we know that’s unlikely for most of us mortals, it’s certainly a worthy goal. Love your family, love your friends, love your neighbors. At Trinity Center we strive every day to love our neighbors, greet them with a smile and treat them with respect.

When I examine through Trinity Center’s lenses the year that just ended, I am looking to find out whether we remained true to our mission “to serve the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Austin.” I am looking to find out if we changed or increased services to the neighbors we serve in ways that respond to their actual needs. I am looking also to find out if we did so with deep care and compassion. Are we still serving neighbors rather than clients? And are we playing a role in the larger community’s attempt to end homelessness?
