The Trinity Food Pantry (TFP) continued to operate during COVID, although some adjustments were necessary in an attempt to protect the safety and health of both recipients and volunteers. Monthly meals were discontinued, and masks were mandated for pickup. In-kind gifts like canned and boxed foods continued to be collected through drop-in donations. Using present funds, the hampers were enhanced to include fresh produce and high protein foods. In a desire to reconnect with clients and renew relationships, in June, clients will be offered refreshments and snacks on hamper day. Listening to them is a step toward reconciliation.
TFP thanks the individuals and congregations that made cash donations for the Christmas gifts and hampers this past year. TFP will gratefully receive donations of canned and boxed foods, as well as cash gifts. Cheques payable to Grace Lutheran Church and marked for Trinity Food Pantry may sent to Grace Lutheran Church, 211 Kimberly Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba R2K 0X3
