Trinity has served alongside Rise Against Hunger since 2012 and proudly did so again this year.

There were over 92 participants for RAH, everyone from our seniors to kids from 3 months old were there to measure, pack, seal and box bags of rice. This year, to allow for social distancing we spread out across the gym giving families individual stations and using a scoreboard and buzzer to track the over 20,000 food bags that were prepared! Thank you to all those who participated, it was a blessing to serve alongside you.

For those who didn’t get a chance to serve, we have another exciting Hands Day opportunity coming next month. On February 27th, 9:00 -11:00 we’ll be working with Open Door USA to learn ways to support the persecuted church around the world. More details to follow soon!
