Our Mission
Rooted in Christ’s compassion and the example of St. Vincent de Paul, we commit ourselves to serving those in need.
Following our Lord Jesus Christ and his disciple St. Vincent de Paul, we at the Holy Trinity Center, as part of the parish community outreach of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, share a deep concern for the suffering of the poor.
We invite all people to unite in listening and responding to the cries of those in need. Such response would include assistance with most basic needs of life, using a variety of means and resources. The underlying principle in such assistance is that of helping the poor and their families regardless of religious affiliation or ethnicity.
Our Values
At our table, all are welcomed as family.
At the heart of our pantry is a spirit of dignity, hospitality, and compassion. Each person who comes through our doors is valued for who they are, not defined by their circumstances. By creating a space where relationships are built and hope is nurtured, we affirm the God-given worth of all who come through our doors. Generosity, kindness, and solidarity guide our work, reminding us that when we serve together, we strengthen not only individuals and families, but the whole community.
