Project PACKS

This semester, we're partnering with SINA on a book drive for Maria Sanchez Elementary School in Hartford. If you can, please consider making a donation of books or money to support early literacy in the community! You can drop books off at Trinfo Cafe from 9 am to 5 pm or at the Office of Community Service and Civic Engagement in the basement of Mather. Feel free to contact Hadley Santana Queiroz ([email protected]) or Joe Barber ([email protected]) if you have any questions!

We cordially invite you to the Fourth Annual Chapel Formal & Benefit Dinner, happening on Saturday, October 14 at 7 PM in the Chapel. The night will include an elegant meal and live entertainment.

This is a free event with an initiative to raise awareness about the Backpack Program, which supplies 40 packs of food weekly to Hartford children experiencing food insecurity. The average cost for one week of food is $150, so donations and pledges of donations from individuals and organizations will be greatly appreciated.

Please spread the word and make sure you RSVP to Molly Thoms ([email protected]).

Thank you so much to the sisters of The Order of the Elms and The Stella Society for helping sponsor and pack backpacks this week! Great to see the newest additions to Trinity's Greek Life giving to their communities!

We had the pleasure of collaborating with The Order of the Elms this evening for Project PACKS! Project PACKS is a program that provides weekend meals for children in Hartford. By helping fight food insecurity in Hartford, we can improve school attendance, high school graduation rates, and the quality of life for children in Hartford. Tonight was a great success and we look forward to working with The Order in the future!
