Parkside Pantry Update
The idea for Parkside Pantry began after the pandemic started in March 2020 as we looked for ways to respond to our neighbors in need. Trinity’s Parkside Pantry officially opened in April 2021. Since then, we have given out 769 bags of food as well as turkeys and other fixings at Thanksgiving time. We are extremely grateful for the support of eeryone at Trinity who has heled make this possible!
