About Trinity Pantry

Trinity Pantry started out as a small help service for those who had simply didn't have enough to eat or who had met with some temporary crisis and no funds. Over thirty years later, it is now a food assistance service providing for over 1000 people each year.

The pantry is entirely staffed by volunteers, and with only small amounts of state government funding, it depends predominantly on donations and contributions of food to help others.
