Trinity Lutheran Church Food Pantry (Archive)
The recession, continued high unemployment, underemployment and low wages in New Mexico have left many families struggling to find ways to be able to put food on the table every night.
The Trinity Lutheran Church Food Pantry serves many needy families of the Las Cruces area who are struggling to put food on the table. To help address this need, the TLC Food Pantry distributes food the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 10:00 am to 12 noon.
The Church operated a small Food Pantry prior to 2011 and began the full scale Food Pantry in February of 2011 when Trinity Lutheran Church partnered with Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico to better serve the needs of families in the Las Cruces area. Since the start of that collaboration, the Food Pantry is operating with positive trends for number of families served and total food provided.
This ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church has grown substantially over the years. The program could not work without the help of many dedicated volunteers who help on distribution days. Food is picked up at the warehouse on Copper Loop Road in Las Cruces and brought to the Church; the shelves are stocked; and the produce is repacked. Other volunteers greet the needy families; and help with record keeping, clean-up and ordering more food supplies.
