Trinity Episcopal Church

Trinity’s ongoing outreach activities are listed below and also may be found at “Community.”

• Collection of non-perishable food each month for F.I.S.H. (Friends in Service Here) in Torrington. The food is blessed at Trinity on the fourth Sunday of the month, and then delivered to the F.I.S.H. food bank by  parishioners. There is a homeless shelter in the same building so we often collect warm clothes for distribution at the shelter.

Each month Trinity collects and distributes hygiene products and personal wear items to Harbor House in Torrington, a charitable organization that assists the homeless in the community.

• In addition, several parishioners volunteer at the Torrington Community Kitchen in the Trinity Episcopal Church Torrington, at various times throughout the year.

 SEASONAL ACTIVITIES:

— We partner with the Litchfield Community Services to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas food for area families.

— We join with area churches and the Social Service office in the “New Beginnings” program which is designed to help identified parents provide new school clothes and shoes for their children.

 Trinity Church sees community outreach as a response to the call of Christ “when you do it to the least of these my brethren, you do it to me.” An active outreach committee guides the parish in responding to the needs of those near and far.
