Description of Programs

 

​

SUNDAY Trinity Streets

On Sunday afternoon we act as the church for people experiencing homelessness with a service that is offered alternately by different churches and is followed with a meal. Many of the neighbors do not feel welcome in the regular Sunday services in town. By setting up the center as a communal place to worship, with a service, music, meal and a collaboration with other spiritual services’ providers we “walk the walk” of loving our neighbors as ourselves. There are usually 30-40 people who come to Sunday services.

• 2:50pm – Doors open

• 3:00pm – Worship service

• 3:30pm – Lunch

• 4:30pm – Doors close

​

MONDAY - Woman to Woman

While operating Trinity Center it was obvious to us that there are fewer services offered to homeless women, who are traditionally more vulnerable and at risk in the population. Since 2005, Trinity Center has operated a Monday program for homeless women, creating a safe and welcoming environment away from the streets and offering a free clothing. As in all other days of operation, a breakfast and case-management services are offered as well. We receive mail for neighbors and offer mail check 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays.

• 9:00am – Doors open

• 9:30am – 12:00pm – Free “shopping” for new and lightly-used clothing, computer lab, coffee and fellowship, case management, resource referrals

• 9:30am - 12:00pm - St. Mark's volunteers set up a women's shower ministry

• 1:00pm – Doors close

​

Long-Distance Bus Passes

Everyday, upon request, Greyhound bus passes are purchased for individuals looking to reunite with relatives or friends in other cities to end their homelessness. Telephone number of relative/friend must be provided to verify housing.  

 

Bus Pass Distribution

Everyday, 2-year bus cards are handed out to qualifying guests during hours of operation. 

​

Prescription Assistance

Everyday, upon request, prescription assistance is provided. 

 

Direct Assistance

Sign up outside at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, financial assistance is offered for IDs, Birth Certificates, and Rx co-pays. Individuals are eligible once per month for these services. Our financial assistance, although limited, is aimed at helping our neighbors achieve goals of gaining stability and moving out of homelessness. We are NOT able to assist with rent, utilities or other financial needs.
