“This heat is hard. I’m tired of sweating. I’m tired of the smell. I haven’t taken a bath in two or three days. I just took a bath, and it feels so good, so good" Geneva
Geneva and her partner, Jose, are two of our regular visitors during cooling center hours. They are currently living in the woods, and during the hottest hours of the day, they come to Trinity looking mainly for safety for themselves and their dogs. They come to cool down, shower, eat, rest, and have access to some of the basic resources they otherwise would not have access to while living outside. The summer heat doesn’t stop at nighttime. Although they struggle to sleep comfortably in the...

Trinity Center Austin

Being a small organization allows us to offer a personal, familiar touch as we work with our neighbors each day. We have a staff of only six dedicated people, and we rely on people like you who commit to volunteer shifts weekly. We greet each other as neighbors instead of as providers and clients. We treat our neighbors with dignity and respect. In fact, we feel very proud of the manner in which our staff and volunteers “lead by acceptance,” resulting in neighbors who feel acknowledged and understood, have a sense of ownership of Trinity Center, and consider it their community center. Neighbors rely on us when they have nowhere else to go. As one of our neighbors have stated, “Trinity Center is a light in dark times. My spirit feels at peace here, and I feel I am part of the family because of the way you accept me and love me here".
