April Mission: PADS

Trinity’s April Mission Moment: PADS, Feeding the Unhoused, and Summer Suppers…Trinity’s Ongoing Mission to Serve the Homeless

Journeys: The Road Home is a community-based nonprofit serving Chicago’s North and Northwest suburbs. Located in Palatine, the HOPE Center offers free services such as a food pantry, laundry and showers, mail and transportation assistance, and case management, including housing, job, mental health, healthcare, and legal support.

Trinity has been committed to serving the homeless for over 30 years, adapting through COVID-19 and beyond. While we no longer house guests overnight, we continue to provide support:

– During COVID, we donated funds and meals twice a month to Journey’s hotel shelter program.

– Last summer, we joined the Summer Suppers program, offering monthly meals in Trinity Hall.

– This past winter, we prepared meals monthly for guests at Journey’s Interim Housing program at the HOPE Center, feeding 40–50 guests each time.

Outreach Missions Support

These are many of the organizations that Outreach Missions supports throughout the year


United Methodist Committee on Relief

Mujila Falls Agricultural Research Center in Zambia

The Center’s main focus is addressing hunger and poverty with sustainable agriculture and leadership training.  The original goals and objectives of the project were to increase protein, minerals and vitamins in the diet to reduce high infant mortality and low life expectancy of the Lunda People.  It was also to help the Lunda People to increase family incomes by becoming more effective and efficient farmers.  The desired long-term impact is to help to make the Lunda farmer and their families competitive in agricultural pursuits that benefit from high rainfall and abundant available land.

Tree of Life Ministry – Rosebud Reservation in S. Dakota 

Their mission is part of the working hands and feet of God to the Sicangu Lakota Nation residing on the Rosebud Reservation serving the body, mind and soul. They feed, clothe, shelter and love.  They demonstrate His love, power, and grace to a broken, hurting society.

Non-perishable food and paper goods are collected and delivered once or twice a month to the Mt. Prospect or other food pantries.

Sam Mool House (Living Water)

Food4Kids

Families in school districts 59 and 214 live adjacent to our church building and in the surrounding neighborhoods of Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village, and Des Plaines. Families’ greatest needs are gift cards that can be purchased through the Trinity Scrip program. These cards provide a flexible means of purchasing essential items including food and personal care products.

Mi Casa Su Casa

Mi Casa Su Casa provides local families with basic household items. The families may be refugees, low-income, homeless, or some combination. School districts help with donations of clothing and food in a lot of situations, but simply cannot facilitate finding and delivering large items on a regular basis. Local families have received furniture (beds, tables/chairs, couches, dressers, etc.), cookware (pots, pans, dishes, knives, baking equipment, etc.), bedding, towels, toiletries, cleaning supplies and other essentials. 

Good Samaritan Fund

Our pastor serves as trustee of this fund which supports congregants and community members in need of urgent or immediate assistance within limits. This primarily takes the form of providing gas gift cards, or gift cards for food, diapers, etc. at a Jewel / Osco or Target type store. This fund aims to provide emergency aid in a manner that fosters independence rather than dependency, which is consistent with the mission of Trinity. 

Kenneth Young Q Center

The Q Center in Schaumburg is a part of the larger Kenneth Young Center (KYC) organization. The Kenneth Young Center is named after its founder, Reverend Kenneth Young. The Q Center opened on October 11, 2019. The Q Center offers counseling and medical services (STD and HIV testing and counseling) and most recently the Q Closet which allows people to come in and shop for clothes free of charge, allowing them to dress to express how they feel. It also provides a space for youth to come and do homework and connect with other youth in a safe environment.
