Trinity 4 Kids is a volunteer group that seeks to help our community’s children reach their full potential.

The goal is to provide immediate shelter while equipping families with the knowledge and resources they need to sustain their independence in a home of their own.

The mission of IHN of Greater Gainesville is to mobilize community resources and local congregations to provide, through compassionate care, shelter, meals and case management to homeless Children & their families.  IHN believes no family should have to spend the night on the streets.  IHN unites and coordinates the collaborative efforts of volunteers from all faiths to house, feed, and transport homeless families. The families are housed in area houses of worship.

Volunteers visit Lowell Correctional Facility to record mothers imprisoned there reading books. The books are then given to their children so they can still read with their moms.
