BROWN BAG MINISTRY Are you a brown bagger? We'd like to invite you to become one by participating in our inter-generational ministry to take brown bag lunches to Atlanta's homeless. We prepare 100 peanut butter sandwich sack lunches and distribute them downtown to the hungry. Teams are in place to make sure everything needed is ready and available. There is a place for everyone to participate! You could donate food items or lunch bags, or donate your time to put lunches together, deliver lunches or drive! We hope you'll come as families and as individuals to help Trinity and our youth as we minister to those less fortunate than ourselves. If you want to help pack lunches, join us on the 2nd Saturday of each month, from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.			LUTHERAN COMMUNITY FOOD MINISTRY Hosted by Redeemer Lutheran Church in Atlanta provides breakfast for the Atlanta homeless community five days a week, all year long. Our church is responsible for serving at this kitchen the second Thursday of each month. We leave Trinity by car pool at approximately 9:15 a.m. to serve breakfast to our guests from 10:30 a.m. till 11:30 a.m. Between 130 and 200 people are served. Schedules are prepared in advance and reminder calls are given. We go out to lunch afterwards and return to the church at approximately 1:00 p.m.
GWINNETT CHILDREN'S SHELTER Trinity provides Sunday dinner for the Gwinnett Children's Shelter on the second Sunday of each month for approximately 25 children at the shelter. We have a list of volunteers that will get called on a rotating basis and asked to either deliver the meal or prepare a portion of the meal. This is a wonderful way to show your support to children that are going through a hard time.
LILBURN CO-OP The Co-op provides food, clothing, and funds for people in need. Trinity provides financial assistance with other churches and businesses as well as food and personal care donations through our Loaves & Fishes collection. Contact person organizes delivery of donations to Lilburn Co-op (currently once a year) and is invited to attend meetings and a yearly dinner. Volunteers are needed for packing boxes and sorting clothes on any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Choose any hours that fit your schedule.
SOUTH GWINNETT CO-OP MINISTRIES The Co-op ministry provides food, clothing, and financial assistance for people with emergency short-term needs. Trinity includes the Co-op in its monthly budget, as do other churches and some local businesses. This ministry is currently under reorganization and more information will follow soon.
LUTHERAN SERVICES OF GEORGIA This organization helps to feed, shelter, and give a leg up to anyone in need, such as new arrivals in our country, people who are homeless or jobless, and many other people. Lutheran Services of Georgia

Loaves & Fishes Sundays

Based on the Bible story from the book of Mark in which Jesus fed 5,000 people from five loaves of bread and two fish, we too create miracles for the hungry with the congregation's donations, both great and small.

Lists of needs are provided on our collection barrels to support our own Brown Bag Ministry and the two Co-ops. The second Sunday of every month is our designated collection day for the local food co-ops.

Canned goods, etc. are supplied to the Lilburn and Snellville co-ops on a rotating basis. With the current state of the economy our local co-ops are supplying food staples to about 1,000 families each month. Each qualifying family is allowed a supply box every two weeks.

Supplies can be donated any time, however we deliver to the co-ops the week following the second Sunday of the month. Check your cupboards and shopping lists and help make miracles happen by bringing donations on Loaves & Fishes Sundays!

BROWN BAG SATURDAYS

Join us as we prepare to feed the homeless. We'll begin our work at 9:00 a.m. the 2nd Saturday of each month.
