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 24:4 |

On Wednesday, April 9, Trinity Center had some special visitors from the Austin EcoSchool. Eleven children ages 6-10 spent the afternoon learning about poverty and challenges facing homeless people. The students participated in activities that were fun and educational, while the Trinity Center provided them with breakfast, the same meal given to our neighbors. Prior to their visit the EcoSchool collected a substantial number of donations for Trinity Center which will greatly benefit our neighbors. At the end of the day, students shook hands with neighbors while giving out sack lunches. Then they spent some time talking with neighbors. The inspirational experience ended perfectly when the students spontaneously began singing "Amazing Graze," leaving many with tears in their eyes.
