Heifer International
821 million people go to bed hungry every night. Giving an animal is like giving someone a small business, providing wool, milk, eggs and more. Animal donations can provide families a hand up, increasing access to medicine, school, food, and a sustainable livelihood. Your animal donation will support the lives of families in need.

Olive Oil
Trinity sells Palestinian olive oil and food products to help create a market, generating income for Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza.
The olive oil is under the label Palestinians for Playgrounds and Al-Ard; two labels that offer a similar style free trade certified olive oil. Please click here to learn more about Palestinians for Playground.
This year we invite you to purchase in person at Trinity or by contacting Beth Bailey. You can pick up the oil at church on Sunday.

AFAC Donations
Around 4,200 Arlington families weekly rely on AFAC groceries for their regular meals. The families only need to show proof of residency in Arlington. Food donations are accepted in the Trinity Narthex. Monetary donations are even better given the buying power that AFAC has through partnerships with local suppliers. You can donate here.

You can support the Tent of Nations by purchasing part of an olive tree. Daoud Nassar, founder of the Tent of Nations, has visited Trinity many times.
