MISSION AND OUTREACH

What began in 1966 as a summer outreach ministry of Trinity, The Trinity Educational Enrichment Program (TEEP) continues to provide life-changing experiences for thousands of New Orleans’ youth. TEEP’s mission is to provide summer learning experiences for children in academics, life skills, performance, and visual arts, while encouraging students to develop a positive self-esteem. TEEP accomplishes this mission by offering a 6-week tuition free camp for financially disadvantaged students entering the 5th and 6th grades, in addition to a Pre-K class. TEEP is overseen by an Advisory Board, comprised of educators, TEEP alumnae and Trinity Church parishioners. For more information visit the Trinity Educational Enrichment Program page or contact the Director Alvin Edinburgh at .

With a listening heart, Trinity Loaves and Fishes (TLF) serves our neighbors in need by sharing a simple meal and providing support, and seeks to build relationships and community, respecting the dignity of every human being. Beginning in 2005, TLF provided meals to those most affected  by Hurricane Katrina and the thousands of volunteers who so diligently put the city back together. Presently, TLF has evolved over the years into a unique multifaceted operation, now providing lunches to fifteen sites in New Orleans. For more information visit the Trinity Loaves and Fishes Page or to volunteer, please email the Trinity Loaves and Fishes Director, Aaron Taylor at .

The Women of Trinity Church (WOTC) includes all women members of Trinity Church, and was organized in 1866. From its founding, the women of the church have repeatedly stepped up to organize and fund specific needs in our parish and New Orleans community. Over the years, this has included everything from a soup kitchen during the Great Depression, to present day support of TEEP and TLF. WOTC provides funding for numerous Trinity ministries and different organizations in the community through a grants program raised from members gifts, biannual Rummage Sales, Bake Sales, and revenue from the Trinity Treasures Bookstore. The Women of Trinity Church have traditionally pulled people together and taken care of each other. They care deeply and passionately for friends, family, parishioners, the community and being there for one another. For more information on the WOTC, visit the WOTC Page or contact current WOTC president, Beverly Lamb at .

The Trinity Medical Mission to Latin America began in 1992. During these years of service, the annual mission has attended to the health needs of the less fortunate people of Honduras, Nicaragua and The Dominican Republic. Each year a team of Physicians, Dentists, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Veterinarians travel to the poorest areas of Latin America. A full pharmacy allows patients to receive necessary medications at no cost. Resident doctors from East Jefferson General Hospital, Tulane University and Louisiana State University also make the trip, where they are introduced to "service of the poor” at an early stage of their career. Full missions have numbered as many as 55 people, with a large number coming from the Trinity congregation. For more information on the annual Medical Mission, contact Trinity liaison John Hevron at
