Holy Trinity’s Outreach partnership with Sandy Lane Elementary had over 50 volunteers ages 3 to 80 that produced 320 filled backpacks for every student in the school. All instructional staff at Sandy Lane also received a custom-branded canvas bag with classroom supplies to limit out-of-pocket expenses. The church also supports the T-ball team and Safety Patrol, provides a staff luncheon, and makes homemade desserts and thank-you cards for all staff during teacher appreciation week. #PCSProud
