On Sunday, November 16th at 9:30 a.m., Trinity United Methodist Church will distribute grants totaling $40,000 to twenty-two (22) local community agencies.
The grants will be distributed from Trinity’s Fund for Service to Others (Fund B), which originated from bequests by two members and has since been added to from other bequests and gifts. Fund B distributes grant requests to human service organizations. The fund has been instrumental in the creation and continuation of Aurora, Habitat for Humanity, Patchwork Central, Tri-State Food Bank, Africa University, United Methodist Youth Home, and many others.
Trinity’s Fund B reviewed applications from local agencies (those in, or contiguous to, Vanderburgh County). Twenty-two agencies were selected that align with Trinity’s mission of service to the poor, the disadvantaged, and the community at large.
Throughout its history, Trinity has been home to leading philanthropists in Evansville. Part of this tradition has always been active volunteerism by individual members, as well as individual financial support for human service ministries. When the church’s then-new sanctuary was completed in 1865, its pastor was Rev. Albrion Fellows, whose daughter, Albion Fellows Bacon, was instrumental in promoting services and legislation locally and statewide to help the disadvantaged. Later, Trinity’s congregation led the fundraising efforts to bring Evansville College (now University of Evansville) to Vanderburgh County.
More recently, Outreach Ministries was founded, largely through the leadership of Trinity, and in its early years was housed in Trinity’s facility.
Trinity UMC is located in the historic heart of downtown Evansville, Indiana, at 216 SE Third Street. Trinity is a missional church whose members are working to transform the community and the world. For more information about the church and Fund B visit TrinityEvansville.org.
