Housing For All Allyship

Services

Sunday Worship services 9am & 11am

Volunteer to help Nourish Our Community Every Tuesday at Trinity from 2-4pm 


In partnership with the Denver Public Library and Trinity Housing for All, we are launching a new volunteer opportunity to address food insecurity in our downtown community—and we need your help!

 

Every Tuesday from 2:00–4:00 PM at Trinity, volunteers gather to prepare and package healthy snack bags and write encouraging notes for our neighbors in need. This is a simple yet powerful way to provide nourishment, kindness, and hope to those facing food insecurity.

 

There are four ways you can make a difference:

🍏 Volunteer on Tuesdays – Join us in assembling snack bags and spreading encouragement. Your time and presence matter!

🧁 Bake 50 Muffins – Love to bake? Help provide healthy homemade treats for the snack bags by making 50 muffins and delivering them to the church.

🛒 Shop for Supplies – Pick up essential snack bag items and deliver them to the church. We’ll provide a shopping list to make it easy!

💵 Give Financially – Each snack bag costs $3, and we provide 50 bags each week. A gift of $150 covers one full week of meals for our community. Every dollar helps!

Designate gifts to “Housing for All.”

 

This is a meaningful way to put faith into action, and every effort—big or small—contributes to making a difference. How will you help?

For more information or to sign up, contact Pastor AJ at ajbush@trinityumc.org.

A Housing Advocate's Prayer

Trinity’s Housing For Ally Allyship’s co-leader Pam Hubbard offers the prayer below as we continue work during the pandemic to see that all our neighbors are stably housed. It honors the deep need for the integration of both action and contemplation in the lives of Christ-followers. Richard Rohr says “If we pray but don’t act justly, our faith won’t bear fruit. And without contemplation, activists burn out and even well-intended actions can cause more harm than good. In today’s religious, environmental, and political climate our compassionate engagement is urgent and vital.”
