Trinity Metals donates to Ukrainian cause

Indianapolis-based Trinity Metals has announced making a $50,000 donation to Colorado-based Torchbearers International. The recycling company describes Torchbearers as a Christian ministry currently providing support for Ukrainian refugees who have fled their home country due to the Russian attacks.

“Any financial reserves we had available to us this spring were running short due to the pandemic,” says Peter Reid General Director of Torchbearers International. “It was [Trinity Metals’] gift that allowed us to reach out in ways which would not have been possible otherwise,” he adds.

Throughout the past few months, Torchbearers International has taken in a group of Ukrainian refugees at some of its European centers. When the Ukrainians arrived, they brought little with them, according to Trinity Metals.

“Many knew of no one in their new country, [and] those with health challenges such as diabetes were left without the means to receive the medication or treatment they needed,” says the company. Torchbearers has been seeking to help the refugees and provide for their medical needs, in part thanks to the contribution from Trinity Metals.

“We strive to run Trinity Metals and guide our personal lives to the best of our ability in accordance with Judeo-Christian principles,” says Wade Conner, CEO of Trinity Metals, who calls the donation “an easy decision.”

He adds, “We want to live out those values through everything we do. We felt strongly that the crisis in Ukraine demanded a tangible and significant response from us—and we wanted to help in any way we could.”

Torchbearers International describes itself as having 25 centers in the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Pacific, designed in part to offer a variety of biblical courses, conferences and training for men and women.

Trinity Metals describes itself as a wholesaler and processor specializing in upgrading nonferrous scrap metals to their highest value using the best practices and technology available.
