God’s Work. Our Hands

This weekend was a time where TVLC came together with the community for a variety of service projects. Thank you so much to all the volunteers who made this weekend possible, your support has truly made an impact. Use the arrows to click through pictures of each project.

Paper Shredding, E-waste & Dispose-A-Med

God’s Work, Our Hands Weekend started out strong with our annual paper shredding, electronics recycling, and medication disposal event. During this event, 16,400 pounds of paper were shredded, and over 400 cars were served. The medication disposal event collected 81 pounds of medication.

During the event, our mighty food ministry also collected food, totaling 670 pounds, which will all go toward our holiday food collections. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, and a special thank-you to the Sheriff’s Auxiliary Foundation and Grumper Recycling for making this event possible.

Care Kits for Unhoused Veterans

The Saturday night service project included making care kits for unhoused veterans in collaboration with the Buddy Brigade. The Buddy Brigade is a peer-led recovery and service initiative focused on strengthening Veterans’ recovery through purpose, connection, and community impact. The Buddy Brigade has a direct connection to the VA and 100% of donations go directly to the homeless, homeless Veterans, or transitional Veterans whom are moving into new housing who were often recently homeless. During this service project, Volunteers wrote letters and assembled kits full of hygiene items that will be distributed to veterans in the community.

Rice Packing, Dog Food & Hygiene Bags

Sunday morning volunteers packed rice. These packages will be distributed through the TVLC food ministry to our partner organizations and included in our holiday food bags.

The Sunday school children decorated bags that were filled with hygiene items. More than 100 bags will be distributed to partner agencies. The children also packed dog food bags for dogs in need.

Bagged Lunches

After the 10:30 AM service, volunteers packed lunches that included a sandwich, snacks, and water. These lunches will go to workers in the Primavera work program and others in need.
