Each team has pledged to raise $400 and with your help, we can do it! You can make a donation online at https://rutlandneighbors.org/care2spare26/. Be sure to choose one of our team: Trinity Strikes (the fear)!, Trinity Spares (the faithful)!, or Trinity Splits (the difference)! or any of our team members. If online is not your thing, please use the Care2Spare envelope at the ushers’ tables (not the regular giving envelope) and drop it in the offering plate.
