TRUST, Inc

For 41 years, TRUST has been providing service and celebration in the community. We now have 18 member congregations and a total of 45 churches who work with us on at least one of our programs. Last year 2,000 volunteers gave over 23,000 hours of service. But we cannot survive on volunteer hours alone. We need your financial support.
