And the King will answer them,
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." Matthew 25:4

 Trinity Center is now open on Tuesdays for Women, which means we are now operating six days a week to serve our neighbors.
In a response to a growing need for services for women who are experiencing homelessness, in February 2010, Trinity Center opened its doors on Tuesdays from 9:30am to 1:00pm for women only, this is in addition to our Woman-to-Woman program which still takes place on Mondays.
We start each Tuesday with devotion and breakfast and provide financial assistance for five women. With this financial assistance, women are able to get I.D. cards, birth certificates, driver’s licenses, disability fare cards, or prescription co-pays. After financial assistance, there is time for arts & crafts and even a yoga class led by a volunteer. In addition, we have a women’s support group called H.E.A.R.T. (Help End Abusive Relationship Tendencies) from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. This support group is especially for women experiencing homelessness and domestic abuse (past or present).
Beginning in June 2010, Trinity Center will host Art from the Streets, which has previously been housed at the ARCH. They will hold their studio and art classes two afternoons a week at Trinity Center . Art from the Streets is “a volunteer-run program providing a safe and encouraging environment where the positive spirit and creativity of homeless people is nurtured through artistic expression. Volunteers facilitate twice-weekly open studio art classes which culminate in an annual art show where the homeless participants exhibit and sell their art to the general public – breaking down barriers of prejudice and fear with feats of beauty and creativity, while at the same time bringing in some badly needed cash” (www.artfromthestreets.org).
