              ALL DONE THROUGH TRUST!

 In 1970, clergy and lay leaders from eight congregations convened to ask what their churches could do better together than they could alone. That was the beginning years of service and celebration. Now there are 18 member congregations from nine denominations. Adding the other congregations that join to provide at least one of the services, there are 45 churches gathered with TRUST to do “good works” in the community.

What you see of TRUST depends on your interests and needs. TRUST’s programs have evolved from assessing needs in the community, seeing changing demographics in churches and following great ideas generated from one or more churches. TRUST has:

•  programs such as Meals on Wheels and Parish Nursing that provide services;
• initiatives such as TRUST Builders and TRUST Youth which allow churches to collaborate on projects that they may not have the critical mass to undertake alone;
• partnerships with places like Redeemer Residence to provide our Wreath of Love holiday gifts to all the residents there;
• community events like our Dr. Martin Luther King Day celebration each year:
• volunteers who do the work; and, of course,
• fundraisers like our annual TRUST auction to keep it all running.

We hope you will find the information about TRUST useful. Please contact us if you need more information or if you would like to volunteer or donate. Church affiliation is not necessary to volunteer or to receive services. TRUST welcomes all.
