Mission Statement:

 

   Trinity Jubilee Center, a non-profit organization, is a multi-service agency dedicated to addressing otherwise unmet personal, family, social and spiritual needs of people in the surrounding communities. Through collaboration and networking with the Episcopal Diocese of Maine, churches therein, other religious and secular organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies, we respond to the practical needs of those in the greater Lewiston-Auburn area. We regularly assess our programs to assure that we continue to provide quality services in food and meals, maternal and child care, and prison ministry. We develop new programs as needs arise. We offer opportunities for training and education to both those who are served and those who serve, empowering them to pursue the greater goal of awareness and change.
