ACPS Backpack Drive
It's that time again! We are partnering with ACPS to collect backpacks and school supplies to ensure all students are ready for school! We will be collecting backpacks and school supplies for ACPS students in grades Kindergarten-12th at Trinity through August 10th. Click here for the Supply list.
Donating a backpack is easy to do!
1. Complete this form for each backpack you are donating. (Donating three filled backpacks, complete three forms!)
2. Purchase a backpack and supplies for each donation. Place the donated supplies inside the backpack.
3. Tag the backpack with the grade level you are supporting (K-2, 3-5, 6-12). Backpack tags are available in the narthex and in the church office at drop off.
Feel free to participate as an individual, family, with a friend or two, as a small group, ... the possibilities are endless!
ALIVE!
(ALexandrians InVolved Ecumenically) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization of volunteers from over 40 religious congregations and the community working together to help those in need. Founded in 1969, ALIVE! is the largest private safety net for the needy in the city of Alexandria, addressing short-term to long-term needs for those less fortunate in our community. ALIVE! serves thousands of Alexandrians annually with shelter; low-cost early childhood education and childcare; financial help for rent, utilities, medical care and other critical needs; emergency food; and deliveries of donated furniture and housewares. The Trinity community supports ALIVE! in several ways. Nonperishable food donations are collected at Trinity events throughout the year for ALIVE!'s food pantry. Trinity members and friends also participate in the annual ALIVE! Walk-a-Thon held in Old Town Alexandria.

Trinity regularly supports INOVA's life saving blood bank services. Inova Blood Donor Services supplies lifesaving blood and blood products to 24 different hospitals in Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC, metro area. We also work with national and international redistribution organizations to get blood where it's needed most. Since 1965 donors like you have helped Inova provide a safe and adequate blood supply for patients in our diverse community. But today the demand for blood is increasing while blood donation levels are decreasing. We need you more than ever! For more information contact: Carol Bowers.
