Join Us in Making a Difference!
We would love your help in transforming lives and bringing hope to those in need. If that sounds good to you, here’s what you need to know about volunteering with us:
- Commitment: We ask volunteers to commit to a weekly shift. With our small staff team, consistent support is invaluable. When you dedicate your time weekly to the same project, you make a significant impact and help us provide continuous, reliable support.
- Age Requirements: Volunteers must be at least 13 years old. Those aged 13-15 need to be accompanied by an adult. We believe in fostering a spirit of service in young people.
- Alternative Ways to Help: If on-site volunteering doesn’t fit your schedule, you can still make a huge difference! Consider organizing a supply drive for our programs. Gather essential items from our most-needed list and rally your community—whether it’s your office, place of worship, gym, scouting group, sports team, school, book club, or any other group.
Together, we can create a warmer, more compassionate community. Thank you for considering joining our mission!
Learn how our volunteers make a difference:
Soup Kitchen: Grocery Bagging
The Soup Kitchen receives a carload of grocery store donations each morning, mostly breads, desserts, breakfast pastries, deli meats, and frozen meats. This all needs to be sorted and packed into bags, which are offered to our Soup Kitchen guests when they are picking up their lunches.
Soup Kitchen: Transportation
We rely on volunteer drivers for our Food Rescue Project. Trinity does not own vehicles so volunteers play a big role in picking up donations of leftover food that stores set aside for us every day. Food is picked up every morning and volunteers commit to one shift per week.
Food Pantry: Customer Service
We feed nearly 200 families during our Wednesday morning Food Pantry! A volunteer greets each guest and checks them in. Other volunteers help to receive the delivery, stack cases of food, and pre-pack boxes of fruits and vegetables for each family.
Immigrant Integration Program: Employment Support
Every year hundreds of people ask us for help finding a job. Volunteers work one-on-one with guests to help them write their resume, search for jobs, complete applications, and complete background check and new hire paperwork. No experience required!
Supply Drives
We welcome groups interested in holding fundraisers and supply drives for our programs! These are events that we simply don’t have the manpower to run on our own but they are an important source of donations and a great way to spread the word about Trinity. Please see our Donate Supplies page to find our biggest needs.
Other Tasks
There is a lot of work to be done at the Center and many tasks that we would love assistance with. If you have special skills or are interested in other options for volunteering please get in touch with us!
Soup Kitchen: Food Prep
The Soup Kitchen serves over 100 lunches each day! Volunteers help with food preparation and plating meals.
Soup Kitchen + Day Shelter: Cleaning
Volunteers assist with washing dishes, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, raking leaves, shoveling snow, and other cleaning and tidying projects.
Resource Center: Donation Organizing
Our Resource Center receives and distributes hundreds of coats, boots, hats, gloves, blankets, sleeping bags, socks, underwear, and toiletries. If you like organizing we would love your help! Sort through what has come in, stock shelves, and keep the donation room tidy so that we can easily find an item when it is requested!
Resource Center / Immigrant Integration Program: Office assistant
Nearly 200 homeless people receive their mail at our office and volunteers help to sort and file each day’s mail. Volunteers also help to distribute supplies, schedule employment assistance appointments, and do other clerical work.
