The Trinity Center for Community is our outreach and social justice initiative. Programs include: Food security (Saturday Soup community meal and Tuesday Food Pantry), affordable housing assistance, job and leadership training, recovery and wellness coaching, financial literacy and empowerment, and arts and culture initiatives.

We also organize for systemic change, and we are a founding member of the Monmouth Housing Coalition.

Code Blue
Code Blue is Trinity’s emergency winter shelter. When temperatures drop below freezing, residents of Asbury Park and wider Monmouth County are invited to stay overnight in our building.

Housing Justice
Trinity believes that housing is a human right and that all people should have safe, stable housing. We advocate for affordable housing for all, and our caseworkers assist in placing community members into housing. This housing support is made possible by your generous donations and by grants.

Our innovative Radical Wellbeing Program provides resources to help community members thrive in their housing, including life skills and financial empowerment coaching, mental health support, job placement, and recovery support.

Food Justice
Trinity’s Food Pantry and Saturday Soup Kitchen are run by wonderful local volunteers serving over 35,000 meals a year. We continuously work to get more local, healthy, and organic food to serve to our guests.

During our soup kitchen, we have volunteer social workers and an acupuncturist who work to empower our guests and expand their options for their future.
