Outreach is a historical and ongoing commitment at Holy Trinity. Material needs such as food, shelter, and mental and physical health care, are identified locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Outreach works to respond to many of these needs by implementing projects in which parishioners may participate actively through contributions of time, talent, and money.
Community Dinners
Holy Trinity has offered meals to the hungry in several forms for about 15 years. Started by parishioners Dick and Ann Lodge, the Community Dinners have been offered in cafeteria style as well as family style. Currently, five Oxford churches have offered meals once a month on Wednesday evenings in rotation. Holy Trinity host the fourth Wednesday of the month.
Meals have also been provided in take-away format. People accepting the meals pick them up in their cars in an easy drive-through. Members of the parish Outreach Committee staff the operation, in rain, sun or snow.
Personal Care Pantry
We also stock a free Personal Care Pantry with numerous useful items that can be requested at the time that meals are provided. These items consist of soap, detergent, diapers, paper products, and various necessary personal and household items.
