CHAPEL ON THE GREEN CHRISTMAS GIFT BAGS
Trinity is giving out Christmas Gift bags through Chapel on the Green at DESK on Sunday, Dec. 20. We are especially in need of $10 gift certificates to local food or coffee establishments. Due to proximity and financial accessibility, we recommend: Blue State, Willoughby’s, Dunkin Donuts, and Koffee. We also accept donations of: new socks, gloves, and hygiene products, though this year we will not accept pre-assembled gift bags. Contact cotg@trinitynewhaven.org with questions. Donate by Dec. 17.
GIVE THE GIFT OF TREES
Giving trees is a way of taking care of the Earth, and taking care of the people who live in it! While many of our winter outreach opportunities are locally focused, we invite you to donate towards reforesting the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. This opportunity to give is offered through Interfaith Power and Light, an organization that provides us much guidance in being more faithful stewards of this Earth that God has made. Donate today >>
