WHO WE ARE

For more than 30 years, we have served as a lifeline for residents in one of California's most rural and isolated communities providing food security, emergency support, and year round programs that uplift people of all ages.
Today, HTRA is leading the development of the Trinity Resilience Center, a permanent, community owned facility designed to meet the urgent and long-term needs of Southern Trinity.
HTRA strengthens the safety, resilience, and well being of the Mad River community by providing emergency response support, food security, and year round programs through the Trinity Resilience Center, a permanent hub for preparedness, relief, and community connection.

WHAT WE DO
Building The Trinity Resilience Center
HTRA is raising funds to build the Trinity Resilience Center, a 6,000 square foot facility that will provide a permanent home for critical services our rural community depends on. This project is a long term investment in the safety, health, and resilience of Trinity County residents. With the support of our community, partners, and donors, the Center will become a year round hub for food assistance, emergency preparedness, disaster response, volunteer coordination, and community programs.
The Trinity Resilience Center is designed to meet both everyday needs and times of crisis. Once completed, it will include a food bank with dry and cold storage, an industrial kitchen, a community meeting and training hall, showers and laundry facilities, operational space for Search & Rescue, and a Trinity County Sheriff's Sub Station. During emergencies such as wildfires, severe storms, or extended power outages, the Center will provide shelter, serve as a coordination hub for emergency responders, and offer vital resources to residents when they need them most.
Every donation brings this vision one step closer to reality. Contributions help fund construction, equipment, and the infrastructure needed to create a facility that will serve our community for generations. By supporting the Trinity Resilience Center, you are investing in a stronger, safer, and more resilient Trinity County ensuring that families, volunteers, and first responders have the resources they need, both in everyday life and during times of emergency.
Why Our Work Matters
Mad River is one of the most geographically isolated communities in California. When storms, fires, or road closures occur, residents can be cut off for days, sometimes weeks. Many households face:
-long distances to services
-limited transportation
-unreliable power
-high wildfire risk
-food insecurity
-lack of emergency infrastructure
HTRA exists to close these gaps and ensure that no residents are left without support.
We serve with compassion, preparedness, and collaboration. We honor the strength of our rural community and work every day to build a safer, more connected future for all.
