Our Pantry shelves are literally wiped clean. Please consider donating food to people in need in our neighborhood. Our present most needed items are: Canned tuna, shelf-stable milk, cereal, peanut butter and jelly. We need gently used coats, hats and gloves for adults as well. Please consider donating. We also welcome monetary donations, and we will do the shopping. Thank you, Holy Trinity.
