Trinity has always evolved to better meet the needs of our community members. Now, we're eliminating travel as an obstacle - taking our programs directly into the neighborhoods.
In 2023, one of our newest programs will be the Mobile Resource Center. This specially outfitted vehicle will allow our team to bring health and family resources directly to community members in their homes. This will eliminate the need for them to travel to us - a huge obstacle to some. If you'd like to support this new program, DM us and we'd love to meet to discuss how we can partner.
In this photo, Elizabeth Heuffel, our MRC co-ordinator and Family Specialist, Nakia Tillman, are ready to help our community members learn more about our programs.

Our next Board testimonial comes from Steve Cina, COO at Passport For Good and a senior advisor at Schwartz Heslin Group (SHG). In addition to his time on the Board, Steve was also one of our Rock Your Style models a few years ago. That turned into him becoming one of our Board members.
"I support Trinity because it positively impacts and affects change from within the community on a daily basis. From helping the homeless to providing aid around healthcare, education and more, Trinity directly impacts the lives of people in need within the City of Albany. I believe in them. I believe in the community that is Albany."

Home - Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region

We recently asked our Board members why they support Trinity. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be sharing their stories.
Our hope is that these words will resonate with you. That you'll see Trinity as more than a social services organization. You'll see us as an economic development agency, one of Albany's largest nonprofit employers and part of what makes the Capital Region a great place to live and work.
And, that you'll find your reason to support Trinity, either through a monetary gift or by volunteering. It takes all of us to make Trinity a success. And, we can only do it with your help. So, let's get things kicked off.
For , we have the words of April Volk Ulrich, our Treasurer and VP/Senior Agriculture Relationship Manager at NBT Bank.
“I support Trinity because of the compassion and care our employees demonstrate everyday by giving their all to our community. Our team members exemplify Trinity’s values and make a difference everyday through their commitment to improving the lives of our community members.”
Thanks to April for all she does to support Trinity. Stay tuned for our next Board member story coming later in the week.

General Donation 2022 | Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region (Powered by Donorbox)

Trinity Alliance was founded in 1912 as a settlement house, to help families coming to America and Albany find work and integrate into the neighborhood. After 110 years, Trinity is still at the heart of helping families in Albany. This building is still home to Trinity. Built in 1928 as a convent, it was later converting into a community center and still stands as one in Albany's South End today.
In honor of our founding year, Trinity has created that 1912 Club. This Club allows you to give to Trinity in monthly amounts, directly from your credit card. Now, you can spread your donation out over the course of an entire year - and effect change at Trinity not just now, but all year long. To join the 1912 Club, visit https://donorbox.org/trinitydonation-2022 and use the "monthly" option when you choose your amount.

Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region is a major hub for coordinating and leveraging resources for residents in the most economically challenged neighborhoods . Our programs & services support the strategic and equitable investment. Our mis...
