Thrive is a local nonprofit which exists to prevent, reunite and help children aging out of Foster Care. We have the special opportunity to support vulnerable children through toiletries and meals. Due to the ever changing times we are asking those who want to get involved to make completed meal bags. Feel free to get things not listed below, but make sure it makes a complete meal. Just choose a few things from each list put them in a box or bag and deliver them to the church. We will be collecting boxes/bags on Mondays from 9am-12pm and Fridays 12-3pm in the Fellowship Hall. If you are interested in helping collect/deliver the items please fill out the form above. This is our chance to BE THE CHURCH! If you have any questions please email Catelin at, [email protected]

We are collecting letters to give to independent living/nursing homes that are on lockdown. These letters are meant to encourage the residents and workers during this unsettling time. This is a great activity for families to do together or for anyone who is self-quarantined. Drop off the letters on Monday 9am-12pm and Friday 12-3pm at the Fellowship Hall or you can email your letters to [email protected] and someone will print them out for you. We will also need drivers to deliver letters to these facilities. If you are interested please fill out the form below.

We have a team that will be deployed to assist when MWFB calls on Trinity Church.
