Happy New Year!!

Winter is definitely here in full force this year. A few snowfalls, bitterly cold days, lots of wind. Downright brutal so far. Please, please, please be sure you are staying warm and are dressing appropriately.

Please join us this weekend – we’d love to have you over on Saturday! This past week Cub Scout Pack 462 got together and put together 462 special meal bags. These will be available Saturday in addition to, our regular shopping bags.

Cub Scout Pack 462 met on MLK Day 2025 to prepare packaged, shelf-stable meals – complete with recipes! Thank you Pack 462!!

We will be open for our regular service day on 1-25-25. There may be cold weather in the forecast, but please continue 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 – though you will need to walk a block on Earlington to get to the doors.

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!

Happy New Year!!

The new year is well under way at this point and it is our hope for you that it has started off well and that you have great plans for the year to come. If you’re one for resolutions, we hope you have one that inspires you.

If you are feeling under the weather at all, please wear a mask while you are inside the building. While we are mask optional right now, we do ask everyone to help minimize the spread of any winter illnesses. Thank you.

‘Regular’ food shopping will be unchanged:

  • 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!

January 2018 Service Day

TLC Food Pantry

I think it’s safe to acknowledge that this is often a tough time of year for many people. The holidays have passed, the weather continues to worsen, the days remain short, and it can seem like a long time until the promise of Spring arrives.

Across our Nation, this January has proven to be even more challenging for more than 800,000 of our brothers and sisters. The longest government shutdown in history has impacted so many the worst of ways.

If your family has been impacted due to the shutdown, we are here to help. Visitors to our Food Pantry are provided with two large bags of food, some paper goods, and produce/bread (when available). We typically have a wide variety of food choices including: pasta, canned fruit, soups, peanut butter, cereals, oatmeal, canned vegetables, beans, and snack bars.

We will be open this Saturday (1/26/19) from 1-3:00pm. We open the doors at 12:30p and should you arrive early, we ask that you remain in line (as we offer shopping based on order of arrival). If you are a furloughed government employee, please inform our staff when you check in.
