If you are in need of financial assistance; while we at Trinity will lovingly support you with prayer, unfortunately we are no longer able to provide financial gifts to individuals. In order to ensure that we are constantly and continually helping the members of our community, we are supporting local agencies who provide these valuable services. God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Trinity financially supports Gainesville Community Ministries which provides support (238 SW 4th Ave, 352-372-8162). Hours: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2:45pm.

The North Central Florida Alliance and the United Way of North Central Florida produce a card every year with a comprehensive list of agencies who support those in need. You may download this card here.
