Examples of the center's efforts include the school's Trinfo.Café, a
neighborhood gathering space, cybercafé and community garden; the
Liberal Arts Action Lab, which engages research teams of students and
faculty from Capital Community College and Trinity to investigate ques-
tions posed by Hartford partners and propose solutions; the Hartford
Magnet Trinity College Academy, which connects the college with city
and suburban students in an early college program; and several food and
gi drives in the community that Trinity hosts, including Project Packs,
which provides 25 backpacks of food each week to the Hands on Hartford
