TCPC Food Pantry Guidelines

Caritas

In partnership with Caritas, we are able to annually host a group of guests for a week, offering shelter and meals. This event requires a great deal of volunteers to help and donate needed supplies. We are honored to be able to serve the greater Richmond community in this way. You can learn more about Caritas here.

Worship at University Park

Once a month on Sunday afternoons, volunteers enjoy worship with residents of The Laurels at University Park, a nursing and rehabilitation facility. This unique opportunity enables some of our neighbors to participate in a Christian communal worship service, which they otherwise might not be able to do.

Christmas Giving Trees

Each year, we have several giving trees located around the church. Angel tree gifts are for children from Harvie Elementary school and children whose parents are incarcerated. Hats and mittens for any age are also collected for donation to Caritas.

Career Prospectors

This is a very active networking group for workers in transition that meets weekly on Tuesdays at 7:30 am. We provide mentoring, training opportunities, refresher techniques for interviewing, resume writing, timely gathering of job information, and general support as you travel your path to a new career position. Career Prospector & Jam where you may join, provides event details. The Career Prospector LinkedIn group supports job seekers with contacts and job postings. For information, contact Charlie Wood at CharlieWood@AttributesForSucccess.com.

Thanksgiving Baskets

We are happy to have the opportunity to distribute Thanksgiving baskets each November to our food pantry guests who otherwise may not be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Last year we gave baskets to over 50 families.

Brunch & Backpacks

In partnership with the YMCA’s Bright Beginnings program, each August we have a Brunch & Backpacks event, packing backpacks with school supplies to help kids in our community start the school year with the supplies they need.

To help students successfully transition from elementary to middle school, Ridge Elementary School, Three Chopt Presbyterian, and Freedom Church partner to provide homework help, communication and socialization for children every Tuesday at Freedom Church. TCPC provides healthy snacks, books, and school supplies for the participating children.

Financial Support

We are proud to be able to financially support several organizations in our community including HEARTH of Henrico, Capital Area Partnership Uplifting People (CapUp) and UKirk at VCU.
