Saturday, November 8, 2025
There has been much unrest in the national media recently. An incredibly long government shutdown and many ramifications stemming from it. Of course the impact on SNAP being one of the most challenging.
This coming Saturday (11/8/25) TLC Food Pantry will have a supplemental service day to help bridge the SNAP gap until funding is restored or until a long-term, permanent solution is found. We have heard from a number of individuals and groups in the community and we have been fortunate enough to have a great team pull this together.
If you are familiar with our pantry, this will NOT be our regular service style. Our team has prepared packaged bags which will be distributed in a “drive thru format.” Beginning at 1:00pm, we will have volunteers outside the church handing out (2) bags per household. (We cannot allow any picking up for a neighbor or friend this week). All bags contain the same items:
- Spaghetti
- Mac & Cheese
- Mixed Fruit
- Vegetable Soup
- Peanut Butter
- Instant Oatmeal
- (3) cans of veggies
- Chick Peas
- Tomato Sauce
- Tuna
- Meat Ravioli
- Granola Bars
- Toilet Paper – (2) rolls
- Paper Towel – (1) roll
- Hand Soap
We have been in contact with the Haverford Police Department to help direct traffic. Please note – we cannot allow advance waiting in line and there cannot be any illegal traffic moves (ie – U-turns on Brookline Blvd). Anyone waiting in line, blocking traffic, or impeding the residents on Brookline Blvd. or Earlington Rd. will be asked to move along until service starts. We are more than happy to help, but we will do so in a lawful and respectful manner for our friends and neighbors.
Pickup will occur off Brookline Blvd (see map below). Please stay in your vehicle and the bags will be brought out to you. If you are new to TLC Food Pantry, we will have a Registration QR code handy so you can be informed of our future service dates. Throughout the day, we do ask for your patience, as this will be a different method for us. 🤞
You will find us at 501 Brookline Blvd. Havertown, PA 19083

There is also a stop for the Septa 103 bus on our block. If taking the bus, we also ask that you are mindful of where the bus stop is in relation to the neighbors next door. Thank you!
