2011 Outreach Committee Funding Distribution Report

Trinity's commitment to the local community is as old as the 19th century, when parishioners helped establish Mission Hospital and Grace and St. Matthias Episcopal Churches. Today, Trinity and its parishioners continue to support Outreach in our community both monetarily and with hands-on participation.

Trinity and its parishioners continue to support Outreach in our community both monetarily and with hands-on participation.

This year’s Outreach Committee budget total is $25,000, which is a 17% decrease from last year’s budget and a 58% decrease from the 2009 budget.

The main purpose of the Outreach Committee is to be good stewards of this budgetary commitment. The Committee periodically meets with organizations then reviews and recommends the dispersal of the budget to the Vestry based on need and the availability of funding.

The Outreach Committee committed to distributing the $25,000 budget to 22* organizations with the average recipient receiving slightly over $1000.

This year’s recipients of the $25,000 are: 

Room in the Inn $1,500   Church the Advocate Medical Supplies $250    
Church of the Advocate $4,000   Homeward Bound $2,000
