Charitable Outreach

Holy Trinity’s Stewardship Committee annually selects 12 local, national and worldwide social service organizations (one/month) to support. Those selected for 2021 include Homes of Hope, Love INC, Ephrata Area Social Services, ELCA Domestic Disaster Relief, Water Street Mission, Aarons Acres, Good Samaratian Center, Milagro House, Gettysburg Seminary, Luthercare Caring Fund, Clare House, and ELCA World Hunger.

 

Holy Trinity was recently recognized by the Lower Susquehanna Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) for donating over $50,000 to the ELCA World Hunger Fund over a 10 year period.

 

Clare House, a shelter in Lancaster for homeless women and their children, named Holy Trinity as the church recipient of its 2010 Helping Hand Award.

 

Social Ministry Committee

The Social Ministry Committee sponsors an ongoing collection of food items for the Ephrata Area Social Services (EASS) Food Bank, and each summer the congregation also donates over 70 boxes of food items to EASS. The congregation also purchases Back to School clothing and school supplies, Thanksgiving turkeys, and Christmas presents for children and families of need.
