SNAP Sack Dinner

Assistance is always welcome preparing food for the SNAP Sack Dinner, transporting it to the site and/or serving it. Food prep is every Thursday afternoon in the Holy Trinity kitchen. Transport is around 4:00pm.

It has been a tremendous blessing to our parishes to have the opportunity to serve the less fortunate. Christ the Savior's week is the second Thursday of each month and Holy Trinity's week is the third Thursday of each month, but everyone is welcome to help out any week. Dinner is served downtown at Mid-City Concerns, 1222 W 2nd Ave.
