Holidays bring out the best in everyone at Holy Trinity! Along with the families that come through our Food Closet, over the years we have worked with the Portland Veteran's Administration, Union Gospel Mission's LifeChange for Women & Children community, Beaverton Resource Center, Beaverton School District, Oregon Department of Health & Services, Family Justice Center, Sexual Assault Resource Center, and Rose Haven to identify families in need at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Due to last year's success, we'll once again be holding a Christmas Toy Drive! Collected items will be divided between the Beaverton School District, the Family Justice Center of Washington County, and the Oregon Department of Human Services. Collection boxes will be in the narthex from November 26th through Sunday, December 10th. There is also a collection box in the Parish Office if you forget to bring in your donation on the weekend.
