Holy Trinity’s Evangelism Committee is committed to maintaining contact with our church family’s college youththis spring. For some college students, this is their first time living away from home and they are trying to meet new academic and social challenges. They carry with them their hopes and dreams for the future and need our support. Students attending commuter colleges or vocational schools are also joyfully included. Holy Trinity friends are welcomed to contribute monetarily or by donating nonperishable items as listed below. Those wishing to make monetary donations should make checks out to "Holy Trinity Lutheran Church" with "College Care" on the memo line and drop in the offering or mail to the church.

Please note, we have created a “NEW” mailing list for the spring 2025 College Care “Goodie” Package program. All previous entries have been deleted. You must fill out a new online form which you can access HERE.

Cut-off date to sign up is March 16, 2025. If your child is in the US military, please contact Lisa directly as the Evangelism Committee would like to express appreciation for his/her service and dedication to our country with a care package as well. By Sunday, March 30 – Should church friends wish to contribute nonperishable items, please note “general donation” on item or bag along with your name. (See list of food suggestions below).
