Compassion Network
Trinity is dedicated to strengthening the well-being of children and families who live, work, and learn in Lower Manhattan. We partner with organizations who share this commitment, bringing them together to shape a shared vision for our future. By coordinating our efforts, we build stronger networks and create greater impact for the families we serve.
The Compassion Hub
The Compassion Hub is a new partnership between Trinity Church and six nearby organizations. We work together to understand our neighborhood’s most pressing needs, coordinate our response, and amplify our collective reach. Our inaugural partners—all located within a one-mile radius—offer inclusive community programming and expanded access to essential services. Whether our neighbors are looking for groceries, job training, English classes, or a place to connect with others, the Compassion Hub is here to deliver direct support to those in need.
Services vary by site; please contact our partners for details.

The Compassion Collective
The Compassion Collective is a network of frontline workers serving our community with dignity, empathy, and shared wisdom. Convened by Trinity, this invitation-only collective brings together outreach staff members of nonprofit organizations, NGOs, schools, and other organizations working with those in need in Lower Manhattan. Together, we deepen our impact by fostering a culture of support, collaborating to develop solutions, and ensuring all we serve are met with respect and care.
