Christmas time can be difficult for some. Our Trinity Food Shelf continues to offer more than just food for our clients – many come in to enjoy coffee and a friendly visit, to browse our clothing table, or just to warm up. We are grateful for the generous support by Trinity members and our wider community that keeps our cupboards stocked. We are particularly grateful to all our volunteers who serve our clients with a generous and kind heart! During the next two Food Bank days (Monday December 15 and 22) we would like to provide a little extra for our clients. Donations of Christmas treats would be most welcome. We are also in need of clean, gently used (or new) warm clothing: coats, sweaters, sweatpants, socks. Thank you once again for your generosity and compassion!
