OUR
MINISTRIES
Making a difference is a big part of who we are as a congregation. At Holy Trinity, we concentrate on food ministries, but we are always looking for ways to partner with others and support the needs of people in Narberth, Philadelphia, and all around the world!
Giving Garden
One of Holy Trinity’s main ministries is our Giving Garden. Every year we grow hundreds of pounds of vegetables in our five raised beds, along with herbs and flowers.
Over a decade ago we partnered with Trellis For Tomorrow to provide us with the know-how and gardening expertise to guide us. Part of the agreement with Trellis is that we donate a majority of our produce to some sort of outreach program. With that, we are so thrilled to send our fresh produce to our sister congregation – Grace Lutheran Church in Mantua.

Grace Lutheran Food Bank
Grace Lutheran in Mantua is our “sister congregation”, and we are honored to have the Grace Lutheran Food Bank as one of our main ministries. Working together, we are a great example of congregations working together getting outside of the four walls of our buildings, being in the community, and finding out what is needed. We are so thankful that when they need extra resources to help serve their community, we can rally our congregation and provide some of those resources.
Each Wednesday morning, many pounds of freshly-picked produce from our garden as well as hundreds of pounds of donated food, clothes, toys, and other products are brought to Grace from Holy Trinity. Last but not least, each Thanksgiving, we provide around 300 turkeys for Grace's food bank clients! Our partnership with Grace is one of the most important parts of who we are as a church!
Meal Packaging
Each spring Holy Trinity joins Grace Lutheran to package over 20,000 meals to help Grace’s various food ministries in West Philadelphia.
Started back in 2015 this meal packaging event has now become a yearly tradition of faith and love. In 2019, the event was named in loving memory of Barb Grimaldi, a young member of Holy Trinity who had jump-started the ministry four years prior to her death.
