Trinity Cathedral Cares
Benevolence Fund
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have upended life as we know it with businesses shattered, the loss of jobs and reduction in benefits. While we wait for a vaccine and effective treatments, there are those in the Trinity family who have fallen on difficult times financially. Trinity Cathedral’s Benevolence Fund was established in the spring of 2020 to assist any parishioner with financial support in these unprecedented times.
Grantees have been helped with funds for food, rent, utilities, health care, transportation and burial expenses. There is an application process and Dean Mendez leads a small group who confidentially considers each request from this restricted fund.
If your finances are stable this year, please consider a gift with the confidence that our community continues to be cared for. All donations are a blessing!
