HOLY TRINITY IS ON FACEBOOK

with a brand new page. Please visit and "like" us! While you're there, check out the archive photos that Scott Anderson has uploaded and let us know if you can identify them! And for lots of photos and reminders of older events, take a look at our Facebook group, too.

• FOOD PANTRY DONATION OF THE MONTH

For the month of January we ask for donations of canned vegetables for the Collingswood Food Pantry. Please leave your donations in the tower and we will deliver them.

(If you bought donations for earlier months, but forgot to bring them in, we'll deliver those too!)

EMERGENCY FOOD BANK

In addition to our contributions to the Collingswood Food Pantry, we also keep a small supply of emergency food on hand here at Holy Trinity. Our supplies are very low at the moment and we are looking for easy-to-carry-and-eat items such as peanut butter, canned pasta, soups, crackers, and tuna (pop tops are preferred). If you see a sale in the grocery store, please pick up some of these items so that we can keep them on hand for hungry folks who stop by looking for help.

• SURFING THE NET WITH GOODSEARCH

Every penny counts...

Did you know that by using GoodSearch every time you surf the Internet you could be raising money for Holy Trinity? GoodSearch is a search engine (like Google) for nonprofits that donates money to the specified organization each time someone uses its site.

All you do is go to www.goodsearch.com and select "Holy Trinity Episcopal Church (Collingswood, NJ)" from the dropdown on the opening page. Then search the net as usual. Donations will automatically be sent to us a couple of times a year. Similarly, if you shop on the web, you can go to www.goodshop.com then make purchases at your usual stores like Amazon or Best Buy and additional donations will come our way.
