Here is a photo of the goods we collected this year to be delivered to Good Sam!

One of our partners in the community is Bayside High School.  Bayside High School is an Educational Alternative school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades by providing opportunities to achieve graduation requirements in a supportive and personalized environment. Built with Pennies for Pinellas sales tax monies, the school is Pinellas County's first long-term educational alternative school which serves students identified as habitually truant, overage for their grade level and off-track for graduation. Our Community Outreach team recently selected Bayside to work with in providing needed items such as the graduation banner pictured to the left.  Graduate Devoni Grant is pictured with Mark Simon, RTI Academics and Staff Developer.  We look forward to working with Bayside in the next school year to provide more items for their students.  

In 2015, we became part of the Family Promise program.  As a support church, we have agreed to support a host church four weeks a year in helping shelter and feed a homeless family.  Our host church is Palm Lake Christian Church. 

Family Promise provides temporary housing to Families with children who have lost their homes. They are a nonprofit, non-religious charity who primarily works with faith-based institutions to accomplish their goals.

Family Promise helps families without homes regain their independence. The goal is to help provide the families with a secure, safe, temporary environment while the parents work with case managers, counselors, and service agencies to return the family to a stable home and a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. Trinity UCC is proud to be part of the effort to help the homeless in Pinellas County. For more info on the Family Promise Program, click here.
