Community Connections
Warm Welcome Shelter (WWS)
Trinity opened its doors in January 2024 as an emergency cold weather overnight shelter, thanks to countless volunteers, donors, paid staff, and community partners. WWS returned January-March 2025, in deeper partnership with First Congregational Church (Claremont) and Southwestern Community Services. Plans are underway for the winter of 2025-26 and WWS’s third season. Learn more HERE
Backpacks for Kids
We continue our mission of providing food for students over the weekend by sending bags of food for the school nurses to distribute. We currently provide 100 bags weekly to the Middle School and Elementary Schools in Claremont. The food for these bags is generously supported through community gifts, and are then packed and delivered by volunteers.
Blessing Box
Available 24/7: Shelf-stable food and something to read. Take what you need, share what you can.
Community Meals
Starting in 2023, Trinity, along with a tremendous amount of community support and volunteers, has hosted a free meal, open to all, on both Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Details of upcoming meals—including some end-of-the-month Thursdays—can be found out our Events page, and are also publicized in Claremont City Newsletter and on social media.

A Legacy We’re Proud Of: The Student Breakfast/After School Program
In 2004 Trinity started serving a free hot breakfast to students walking to school. This ministry grew from one day a month, to one day a week, to a few days a week, then every school day.
In 2015 the High School started to offer hot breakfasts for its’ students. Not wanting to compete with them we stopped the Breakfast Program at Trinity. When stopping the Breakfast Program, we started an After School Program one day a week, to offer food, mentoring and a warm place to those students who need it.
Launched from Trinity: Baby Steps
Trinity was the first home for Baby Steps, a 4H project started in 2011 to provide essential needs for young parents. This program provides a needed resource for the families in the Claremont Community. The program has evolved over the years and now offers a wide variety of things needed to help these families through life’s transitions. Baby Steps, run by volunteers, is always in need of items and resources to continue helping the families.
*Baby Steps is now located at 169 Main Street, Claremont, NH
