Our Story
For years, members of Trinity Lutheran Church and other local congregations served on medical mission trips to Haiti, Brazil, and beyond. Witnessing such great need and guided by their Christian faith, they felt called to use their skills to serve others closer to home.
Back in Utica, Trinity’s SSS (Supper, Sack Lunch, Shower) program was already offering meals and respite to neighbors in need. In 2010, the mission team asked a simple question: Why not care for those in our own community who lack access to medical and dental care?
With the support of countless volunteers, donors, and partners, that vision became a reality. Trinity Community Care opened its doors in December 2013 to provide free medical and dental services to the uninsured and underinsured.
Christ calls us not to turn away from pain, but to enter it to serve with compassion, dignity, and unconditional love. Each act of care creates ripples of hope and transformation. We invite you to join us in being the hands and feet of Jesus, one patient at a time.
