The wide-ranging Social Ministry Programs of Holy Trinity directly impact
people in need. We need your help to sustain these programs.

Food, Shelter and Friendship:
HUG (Human Understanding and Growth)
2000 hearty hot meals a year, for the lonely and isolated and emotionally disadvantaged, served each Saturday, September-July. Founded by Holy Trinity in 1977 and staffed by two paid psychiatric social workers and volunteers, HUG depends solely on private donations.

Men’s Shelter at Holy Trinity
From November through April, overnight beds and more than 1000 dinners a year to New York City’s homeless. Open for more than 20 years and a collaboration with the Partnership for the Homeless, Men’s Shelter is staffed by one paid professional and a corps of volunteer cooks.

Music for Non-Traditional Audiences:
Music Kitchen -- Food for the Soul
Inspirational, therapeutic, and uplifting chamber music performances—from classical to jazz—to residents of Holy Trinity’s Men’s Shelter Program and the Olivieri Center for Homeless Women. Music Kitchen has presented 50 emerging or established artists in 30 shelter concerts since its founding in 2005.

Education:
Tanzania Partnership Kibeta English Medium Primary School (KEMPS)
Teachers, books, and classroom supplies for 500 children annually in Bakoba (near Lake Victoria), where students place at the top of the national proficiency exams. KEMPS has been supported by the Metro New York Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) for the past 10 years.
