This monthly community outreach at Trinity Church brings together two key resources for neighbors seeking support. New Hope Ministries operates a mobile food pantry offering fresh groceries. There is no pre-registration and no income requirement, and a brief annual New Hope Ministries form is filled out on site. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bags or boxes for grocery pickup. The pantry serves specific zip codes, and a map will be available on site to confirm eligibility. Eleanora’s Closet, hosted by Trinity Church and open to all zip codes, provides items that may include hygiene essentials, household goods, clothing and shoes, and a complimentary meal. A monthly door prize drawing offers a $50 gift card. Bringing your own bags for clothing and household items is appreciated.
