Partners - Support

Celebrating our Trinity Streets churches & school partners, reflecting on the ministry that laid the foundation for what is now Trinity Center Austin.

St. David’s Episcopal Church

Trinity Center was created by parishioners of St. David’s Episcopal Church and is located within the southeast corner of the church. St. David’s Episcopal Church also supports Trinity Center with many volunteers who are parishioners, as well as with very significant in-kind contributions of both space and administrative services.

We could not offer our services and continue to grow without receiving grants from the following foundations:

2025 Grantmakers and Foundations

The Moody Foundation

The Shepherd 5 Points Family Foundation

Gilmer Rushing Philanthropic Fund of the Southwest Community Foundation

McCullough Heating and Air Conditioning

The Lola Wright Foundation

Religious Coalition to Assist the Homeless

A Glimmer of Hope Foundation

Triumphant Love Lutheran Church Endowment

The Argus Fund

Baylor Scott and White Health

Texas Coffee Traders – Coffee is always brewing at Trinity Center, and Texas Coffee Traders donates it all. We make about 35 pots/day, day after day, week after week. Many of the small miracles that happen at Trinity Center do start over a cup of coffee. We’ve heard that many neighbors are drawn to us for the great coffee we serve; it all comes from Texas Coffee Traders. Texas Coffee Traders gives back in many ways. They are committed to fair trade and they support a variety of local events, charities and programs. Thanks for your constant support. https://www.texascoffeetraders.com/

He loves making portraits of our neighbors at our Christmas party and we cannot describe the excitement and appreciation neighbors express when they get a copy of their portrait.

Downtown Austin Alliance – Downtown Austin Alliance funds the expansion of Trinity Center's homelessness family reunification program. When a person experiencing homelessness requests to be reunited with a family member or loved one, Trinity Center first confirms that that person is willing and able to offer housing and care. Once verified, and with financial support from the Downtown Austin Alliance, Trinity Center supplies a bus ticket to transport the client to that location. From the program’s start in October 2021 through April 2026, 879 people experiencing homelessness have been reunified with their families or support systems.

J. Jill – Both of the stores in North and South Austin have become regular donors of superb quality new clothing for our Woman to Woman shopping program on Mondays. In cold weather and hot weather, they call us to pick up bountiful bags of wonderful, practical clothing for our neighbors.

I Support the Girls – I Support the Girls has donated a large quantity of pads, tampons, diapers, and bras throughout the years for our female friends, helping make Trinity Center a safe and supportive environment where unhoused women can embrace their self-confidence and dignity by having access to the basic necessities every woman deserves. https://isupportthegirls.org/
