Every September for more than a decade, our ministry partner Lazarus has held an annual event called Health Day. It’s a beautiful event geared toward serving the homeless community in both practical and fun ways.

This year things will look a bit different, but we still have a chance to come alongside and support our homeless brothers and sisters in a meaningful way — we’re challenging our church to donate 750 hygiene kits! These kits, filled with needed items, will be distributed through Lazarus to those experiencing homelessness. All you have to do is grab the items below, put them in a ziplock bag, and drop them off at Trinity Westside on Sunday afternoons from 4-6pm in September.
