Trinity Center

Trinity Center is a faith-based organization conducting programs that improve the spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of the poor and homeless in inner-city Austin.

Trinity Center achieves its mission through
• volunteer opportunities that foster compassion, understanding, and acceptance of God’s people who are homeless and poor;
• neighborly hospitality in a caring environment;
• collaboration with similarly-focused agencies, faith-based organizations, service providers, and partner congregations; and
• the responsible use of space provided by St. David’s Episcopal Church.

There are various volunteer opportunities at Trinity Center. Whether you want to help homeless women shop for clothes or serve a meal and have some coffee with our downtown neighbors, there is a place for everyone.
