To thank military families for the sacrifices they make on a continuing basis, in May and November we host a food distribution for area military families. With sponsorship from the congregation and community members, we distribute a food package with food staples and a $25 Commissary Gift card in May, and in November a food package with all the makings for a traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner except for the meat and include a $25 Commissary Gift card to purchase their meat of choice.
Sponsor a Food Package: Donations will be accepted 27 Sept – 1 Nov 2026
Volunteer Opportunities:
- Help with putting food into individual bags for distribution to the families on Wed, 18 Nov, 9:00-10:30am in Fellowship Hall.
- Assist in the actual distribution of the food packages to the military families on Sat, 21 Nov, 8:15-10:45am
Registration For Military Families:
To ensure no one is turned away on the 21 Nov, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED and will be accepted 21-30 Oct. Since we usually have more registrations than available packages, we will either send you a confirmation email that you are confirmed for a dinner package or a regrets email informing you that all available packages have been assigned to other families. These emails will be sent beginning 26 Oct and not later than 2 Nov.
Thank you and God Bless, TLC Military Outreach Committee

TLC teams with STEP (Support The Enlisted Project) to support their annual Christmas Sharing the Joy Toy Drive and Adopt a Family projects. Each year STEP has over 200 local military families registering for “adoption” and while many are adopted, some are not. For those families, the toy drive ensures that the children of the non-adopted families “share the joy” of receiving Christmas toys. Boxes for toys will available in the church narthex.
