Trinity posts new site

Trinity Respite Care, a United Way agency, has developed a new Web Site. The site serves as a directory to link users to resources in the community that can address their individual needs.

The site also allows families and individuals to apply for the agency’s services online. Trinity Respite Care provides respite and attendant care for people with disabilities, the elderly and their families.

The site’s new address is trinityrespitecare.com. It was developed by volunteer Paul Silkiner of D.P.I. Consultants.
