Donate to Trinity Jubilee Center
Your support is vital in helping us provide essential services to those in need. By donating to Trinity Jubilee Center, you can make a real difference in the lives of the hungry and homeless in our community. Join us in our mission to build a brighter future for everyone in Lewiston and Androscoggin County. Together, we can turn compassion into action.
Operating Fund
Our main programs are able to buy supplies such as food at a discount and financial contributions also help cover these costs plus the cost of rent, electric bills, trash pick-up, appliance repairs, and other hidden costs. Every little bit helps! Learn More
Heating Fund
Maine winters are long and brutally cold, and our Center’s Day Shelter provides a crucial lifeline during these harsh months. Your donation to our heating fund directly supports over 500 people who depend on the Day Shelter. They come for warmth, a safe place to rest, access to bathrooms, phone charging, breakfast, and vital assistance. Please donate today to provide warmth and shelter for homeless men, women, and children in Lewiston-Auburn.
Building Campaign
Our community’s need is great, but the difference you can make is even greater. We’ve raised $4 million — including a recent $2 million federal award — of the total $4.9 million cost to build this new home. We’re so close to our goal, but we need the help of our neighbors to reach it.
Sponsor-A-Meal Project
Adopt a day in the Soup Kitchen!
Need an easy, last-minute gift? Looking for a way for your company to give back to the community or honor a client? Sponsor a Meal in their name and feed over 100 people! The Center’s Soup Kitchen serves a nutritious, filling lunch 6 days per week: for many guests this is the only hot meal they’ll eat today.
Many people give meal sponsorships as Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, and even as wedding gifts or in their mom’s honor on Mother’s Day! A 7 year-old recently collected donations and sponsored her own 8th birthday and a local realty company sponsors a meal in honor of each of their clients!
Through the Sponsor a Meal project, you can choose to sponsor a day, week, or even a month of meals in the soup kitchen! You, or the gift recipient if you are giving the sponsorship as a gift, will receive a letter explaining that a donation has been made to the Project. After the meal we send a certificate of appreciation, menu, and meal count for the day. You choose the date you would like to sponsor – maybe the recipient’s birthday or anniversary!
Sponsor a meal today by making an online donation and filling out this form or by mailing a check and the details of which day you’d like to sponsor and the recipient’s information to 247 Bates Street, Lewiston, ME 04240

Items we cannot accept
- We do not accept general clothing donations: no pants, shirts, etc. We have very limited storage space, no room to display donated items, and no way to wash donations.

- We do not accept cooked food unless it was prepared in a commercial kitchen, such as from a restaurant or caterer. Unfortunately we cannot accept home-cooked foods due to food safety regulations.
- We do not accept perishable foods, such as meat or dairy items, that have been stored in a home refrigerator or freezer. These items must come directly from the retailer due to food safety regulations.
- While we *do* accept nonperishable foods from food drives, unfortunately we estimate 1/3 of the canned goods we receive are expired, some of them by 10+ years! We would encourage you to consider doing a diaper drive, a coffee drive, or a winter coat drive instead!
