About Us
Trinity Center is a faith-based organization conducting programs that improve the spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of the poor and homeless in inner-city Austin.
Trinity Center achieves its mission through volunteer opportunities that foster compassion, understanding, and acceptance of God’s people who are experiencing homelessness and poverty; neighborly hospitality in a caring environment; collaboration with similarly-focused agencies, faith-based organizations, service providers, and partner congregations; and the responsible use of space provided by St. David’s Episcopal Church.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40
