The Walk-In at Trinity, open one week out of four in rotation with three other downtown churches, provides food and some other necessities to folks in need in the downtown area. Many of these individuals find themselves relying on shelters or living in camps. St. Paul’s, along with other churches in our Diocese, helps support the Walk-In with donations from Outreach funds as well as in-kind donations of non-food items as needs arise. THANK YOU, as always, for your generosity in helping to serve those in need right here in our Pittsburgh community.
