Trinity Food Ministry

For more than 30 years Trinity Episcopal Church has been ministering to the poor in the Central West End of St. Louis by providing a hot lunch every Sunday as well as a weekday food pantry.

·         The Food Pantry, open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:00, offers fresh produce, eggs, margarine, bread, and canned and packaged food for approximately 400 each month.

·         The Hot Lunch Ministry provides a hot meal to approximately 75 men, women and children each Sunday. Other churches in the neighborhood as well as in the Diocese of Missouri assist Trinity in this ministry.

·         The Food Ministry is staffed by volunteers who greet clients and bag groceries for the food pantry. Volunteers prepare and serve the hot lunch on Sundays.

HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED IN THIS MINISTRY?

·         Churches, youth groups and school classes regularly hold food drives for contributions of canned and packaged food. The need continues throughout the year but is greatest, and supply scarcest, at the holiday season.

·         Churches include the Trinity Food Ministry in their budget and donate funds for the purchase of food.

·         Volunteers are always welcome to assist with the weekday food pantry or the Sunday hot lunch.

·         Opportunities are available for special one-time ministries/learning experiences for youth groups.
