Happy Holidays!!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Channukah, Kwanza, or something else, we hope you are having a lovely holiday season. However you spend this time, may it be filled with Peace, Love, and Joy.

If you are not traveling this weekend, we’d love to see you this Saturday. We will be open for our regular service day on 12-28-24. The weather forecast looks like it could be wet. We will try to get the doors open as soon as we can, but please be patient. (The church has a lot happening this time of year and is also host to a number of various community groups).

Please also obey all parking signs and driveways of those who live on Brookline Blvd. There is limited parking directly in front of the church and we ask that you please respect our neighbors. There is additional parking available at the park behind the church.

TLC Pantry Guidelines:

  • shoppers will be escorted through the pantry by one of our volunteers to fill their food bags
  • if you have re-usable bags from previously, please bring them
  • order of shopping is based on order of arrival – numbers will be handed out at the check-in desk. please be courteous and respectful of one another

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!

Summer is winding down and the busyness of fall is right around the corner. School starting often marks the start of a more structured time of year for most of us. However, that doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the tail end of August first!

Please join us this Saturday. Feel free to bring a friend, neighbor, or anyone who might benefit from a few hours with us. As we shared in the notice from last week – please pay attention to parking and use the lot for the park (behind the church). Thank you.

Do NOT block Resident spots or driveways.

Routine food shopping includes:

  • shoppers will be escorted through the pantry by one of our volunteers to fill their food bags (if you have re-usable bags, please bring them with you)
  • order of shopping is based on order of arrival – numbers will be handed out at the check-in desk. please be courteous and respectful of one another

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!

Friends – my apologies this notice is so late this month! My hope is that you already had the date marked on your calendars.

We have been in contact with some of the other pantries in the area and are expecting some new visitors to join us this weekend. We have plenty of stock on the shelves, so please don’t worry about that (if you were). Otherwise, if the chance arises, please welcome them and let them know about your experience(s) at TLC Food Pantry;-)

It was one of those March days when the sun shine hot and the wind blows cold; when it is summer in the light an winter in the shade.

The above quote says it best – especially over the past couple of weeks. Sometimes hot, sometimes hold. Regardless, definitely signs that true spring is on the way! When it is nice out, we hope you’re getting outside to enjoy the sunshine.

If you have been with us for a while, particularly before COVID, you will have noticed that we are not as busy as we have been. We’re actively trying to get the word out, but if you know of anyone who could use some food help, please bring them with you this weekend. Or be sure to let them know where/when to find us.
