Trinity Women's League - In The News
August 2015 ABC Action News
The League was featured on ABC Action News after assisting a family who lost their home and all of their belongings due to flooding. The summer of 2015 brought a lot of rain to the Trinity area, and one nearby family lost it all. The Trinity Women's League stepped in to help the family get back on their feet. The League collected donation items, raised money, helped them find a new place to live, and provided the children with back to school items. This was the League's very first fundraiser and kicked off the start of the now Trinity Women's League.

September 2015 Press Release
The Trinity Women’s League grows quickly after first membership drive. Trinity’s newest social organization, Trinity Women’s League, hosted its first ever membership drive on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 and quickly grew to nearly 50 members. The non-profit’s goal is to fundraise through a variety of events and to partner with other local charities to directly benefit the members of the Trinity area and surrounding communities.
Trinity, FL September 29, 2015
The Trinity Women’s League was founded in August 2015 by 7 local women who were looking for an avenue to lend their time and services to the community, while also connecting with other women in the local area. While similar organizations do already exist, these ladies felt that those were centered on serving the larger Tampa and Clearwater markets. They felt Trinity, which is a rapidly growing
community, was in need of a women’s organization that would work to support the development and
well-being of our immediate area.
“With over 10,000 new homes planned in the next several years, the Trinity community will no longer be just a speck on the map. We wanted to seize the opportunity to unite the women in our community, and maintain the closeness and small town feel that we’ve become accustomed to. We have so many residents who are looking for ways to give back, and this is one avenue we hope the women in our community will embrace.”
Melissa Stone, President of the Trinity Women’s League.
And embrace they have, with what started as a small non-profit organization by a group of friends, has now grown to nearly 50 members in just over 1 month. They have already lent their support to the flood victims in New Port Richey/Elfers in a big way, as well as supporting the Suncoast Striders, a local running club, with a fundraising event for a family whose child had a rare form of cancer.
The group hosted a membership drive on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at Brixx 33 in New Port Richey. Advertising solely through word of mouth and via the group’s facebook page, the event was a huge success. With nearly 70 attendees, women from the Trinity area came to check them out for a number of reasons. Many were looking for ways to give back, while others were new to the area or looking for
ways to broaden their network in the local community.
“The support we’ve received from this event just reinforces our belief that Trinity needs an organization such as this. We’ve already helped so many families, which is why we started this league. All community members coming together”
Samantha Tobias, Director of Membership.
The group’s next event will be a Halloween Costume Party at The Brass Tap on 54 on Friday, October 23rd, 2015 at 8:00pm. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Volunteer Way’s “Kids Against Hunger” campaign.
