Dear friends,

On Saturday, December 6 we can show up in a way that no one has in the past six years in Toledo. In the early 2010’s photographer Jeremy Cowart founded an organization that turned into a movement called Help Portrait. It was a place where our siblings on the margins could get a holiday photo with friends or family for free and walk out with a physical copy. While there was a centralized non-profit, people could hitch their wagon to it, and for almost a decade Toledo showed up and hosted a local version that ran until the pandemic shut down shifted things.

From 10am – 12pm, Trinity will be hosting our version of Help Portrait in our sanctuary, and I am asking for 12 volunteers that can donate their time. Over the past 21 months, Trinity has once again become a place where those on the margins feel safe to call home. It has been consistent with our food pantry, was reinvigorated with Breakfast at Trinity, and now we have the opportunity to show up with Help Portrait. If you would like to help, please click here for our sign up genius link, and if you have questions please email me at george@trinitytoledo.org

Grace and peace,
George M. Benson,
Director of Community Engagement
