2nd Avenue Dinner Thanksgiving Meal
Philoptochos of Holy Trinity will be serving dinner to the elderly and homeless from 2:30 to 4:30 on Thanksgiving Day at Mid-City Concerns, 1222 W 2nd Avenue. The food will be prepared at Holy Trinity after Liturgy until about 2pm then transported downtown to be served.
Helpers are needed to make about 400 turkey sandwiches as well as heat up, transport, and serve the traditional turkey dinner that has been prepared by Campus Kitchens of Gonzaga University. Clean up assistance is also appreciated. Even if you can only help out for an hour everyone is welcome to join in. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far wrapping the last of the pumpkin cookies, portioning cranberry sauce and roasting a lot of turkey for sandwiches.
This is the 4th year the Philoptochos has served a meal on Thanksgiving Day. It is an incredible blessing to be a part of it. Please call Holy Trinity at 509-328-9310 if you have questions.
Thank you to Barry from Christ the Savior for the 2nd Avenue Dinner website. For more information visit: http://www.christthesavior.us/other/foodsvc.html.

2nd Avenue Dinner Christmas Day
This year, the Philoptochos will also be serving a meal on Christmas day. They will also be assembling gift bags to be given to the homeless for Christmas. The goal is to create 200 bags that will contain at least the following items: knit hat, pair of white tube socks, pair of gloves, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, lip balm,comb and candy.
Holy Trinity Sunday School students have been asked to decorate a Christmas Card with an icon of the Theotokos on the front for each gift bag.
So far, we have received 200 hats, 200 pairs of gloves, 200 bars of soap, 10 pairs of socks, 144 small tubes of toothpaste, and three bags of mints! If you would like to donate money or items, please contact Holy Trinity. The generosity we have seen so far has been truly amazing. Thank you!
