Act
  • Georgetown Saturday & Sunday Suppers. Volunteer for the weekend Georgetown Suppers. Started in 2013 by parishioners, and led by Mike Conway, a group of volunteers serve an average of 100 homeless men and women each weekend. For more information about supporting the Saturday Suppers, contact Diana Negroponte. To be added to the distribution list for the Sunday Suppers, contact Mike Conway 
  • SOME. Holy Trinity has partnered with SOME for more than 40 years. The new dining room at So Others Might Eat is now open, and we returned to our tradition of serving the hot meal once per month. In order to allow volunteers to get to SOME in time to serve the meal, our Sunday collection time will be shortened and will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 10:00 a.m. However, we are ADDING AN ADDITIONAL COLLECTION TIME on the day before. Our monthly meal at SOME will feature a new chicken and rice casserole. Please carefully follow the recipe and instructions on the attachment with the SignUp. We will continue to collect Breakfast Casseroles, which will be shared with The Father McKenna Center.
