Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers.

TLC Food Pantry –

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;-)

‘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!

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.

With any luck, perhaps we’ve seen the last snow of the year already and from here out, we can begin the transition toward spring. Football season is over, baseball is still a few weeks away, and it won’t be long until we can be back outside enjoying all the new growth.

If you have set out to achieve something new or great in 2024, we certainly hope you’re making progress. Even baby steps forward each day or each week bring us closer to our goals. When things feel daunting, just think about taking the next step in front of you. Before you know if, you’ll be miles down the road and you won’t believe how far you’ve come!!

Please be mindful of your friends and neighbors on Saturday. There are still a bunch of winter bugs going around, so 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.

Happy Holidays!!

As another year comes to a close, we hope that if things are tight, you’ll consider spending a few hours with us this coming Saturday. The past few weeks have absolutely flown by and somehow, the fourth Saturday is already upon us.

It is forecast to be a little chilly Saturday afternoon. We’ll do our best to get everything setup quickly, but make sure you have a hat & coat in the meantime! We’ll shoot to have the doors open at 12:30, if not a bit before.

There have been a few respiratory bugs and cases of the flu going around recently. 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 illness. Thank you.
