The food pantry
was started in 1987 and there are presently 12
volunteers who purchase, transport, distribute, and
carry out food at the pantry. Much of the
pantry"s purchased food is acquired at Food
Bank of Northwest Indiana, as well as USDA
commodities. Also, several Lowell businesses show
their generosity to Trinity"s cause, such as
Strack & Van Til, and Aldi.
Trinity"s congregation is also a huge
contributor. Food and monetary donations are always
welcome. Items that we
could use, but not limited to, are: crackers,
pasta, macaroni & cheese, potatoes (canned or
dry), cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits
and vegetables, skillet dinners, soups and stews,
spaghetti sauce, tuna, ramen noodles
