Today was the pantry volunteer appreciation party/Christmas party. Thank you that all came today and for the ones that we have throughout the year that could not make it, we missed you this year.

Sock must be new and unopened. Donations can be dropped off when you drop off you sign in form right before you turn in to the back of the church.
Our pantry is still under contruction. The warehouse still has the cooler to build and finialize the electrical too. Once completed, we will be posting a video of the upgrade.
With COVID still a concern, we still have restrictions going on at the church and for the panty. If you are a guest, please do not get out of your car while in line. This is for the protection of yourself and others. Also when volunteers are loading your vehicle, please do wear your mask. This includes the walk up pantry.

Please bring lightly used and new socks, but we will only accept new toys for children. We will be passing out socks with our Inner City Outreach.

11/21/2020 – The line! Oh, the line…. We all hate being in any line and having to wait. Our line was so long this morning. It went to
Rainbow Blvd and wrapped around and down Ann.
The volunteers are so happy to serve everyone of you today. We are not sure how many there was, but we do know that we have been preparing for this to happen over the last few months.
The pantry was blessed to get a LARGE donation from the President of the United States and the White House. A full semitruck of 21 pallets of pre-boxed food. TCMI Pantry thank you for your donation.
We had a handful of vehicles cutting the line. If you do this, security will be informed. Security will have you leave the line and go back to the end of the line. So, PLEASE check and see where the line ends. If there is a line of cars going down the road, that’s the line and you will need to drive down to find the end.
The warehouse remodel has gotten to the point that we moved back in. Its still has some little things to do, and the cooler is still in route to the church. Thank you all that has put time and energy into the re-remodel.
With Thanksgiving on Thursday, the pantry will be closed. We will not be doing any volunteer work as it is time to spend it with family and friends. We will continue Friday morning.
Until next week, stay safe and we love you.
11/14/2020 – Thank all for coming this fine brisk morning. The pantry warehouse project is coming along great. We have about a month to go before the cooler is installed and complete. We moved in our dry goods and what a project that was. Thank you, Charles, for all you do on the changes in the warehouse.
We recently have overwhelmed the San Miguel Community garden with waste produce. We recently have partnered with Las Vegas Nevada’s Combs Brothers pig farm. We welcome you to the pantry and looking forward to helping to feed the livestock. If you would like to read up about Combs Brothers, read up about them in the blog section of the pantry site.
The pantry will not be giving out turkeys this year due to COVID-19. We were informed last week by Three Square that we will not have this donation this year. If we get a substitute item, we will let you all know.
Until next week, stay safe and we love you.
11/7/2020 – When there’s a need, there’s a way! The line was long today. Made its way down past Ann road for a bit today. We are blessed to be supplied with so much food from our donors. Thank you!
Making change comes with struggle, commitment, hard work, and faith. After a hard week’s work, some volunteers come straight out of their work and right to the pantry at 2 AM!! YES 2 AM. Seeing their glowing smiles, some halfway awake still, COFFEE! Some have made long lasting friendships, and some have met first time and now are together. Wow, how god works its wonders. We always have room for your smiling face! Volunteer today! We Need You!
Thank you all who have recently joined the pantry team. This helps us all get tasks done without burning out everyone out.
Until next week, stay safe and we love you.
11/1/2020 – Another successful day at the pantry. We had some new volunteers join us today. Thank you, and welcome to the pantry family. The pantry construction has been extended due to additional add on projects that has projected to complete in 5 weeks. Until then, please watch you distance between objects and people while driving through the rear.
Two months and the year is over. This year has been such a rollercoaster with emotions, employment, bills and as well the loss of contact with loved ones in person. We hear you and understand times can get tough.
Our pantry has and been such a success during the times we are in. Our volunteers have such big hearts and as well strength. Pushing through the hard work, changes on the fly, additional precautions for safety and health. Our volunteers are FRONT LINE WORKERS. The leadership looks at the crew and sees them as superheroes, taking time out of their week to do prep for each Saturday and as well general maintenance.
With this said, the leadership would like to announce that for the rest of the year, all the pantry volunteers are Volunteer of the Month’s. We have no other possible reason why only one person should shine. These volunteers come week after week, day or night to do gods work and help neighbors whom need a hand up.
Therefore, the TCMI Pantry is what it is, and has become. The love for others, the passion to serve, and the smiles volunteers receives from each guest as they drive through the line. This is what make the TCMI Pantry a family.
One more thing and we will see you next week. The pantry hours are 7-9 AM. This includes the walk-up pantry. The earlier you come, the faster we can get the line through and complete. The continued late arrivals have put a burden on the pantry time and length our volunteers are working. We don’t want to see any guest go without, but please remember that our volunteers are there as early as 2 AM and stay as late as 2 PM. Arriving and in line no later than 8:45 AM would be preferable. Stay safe and remember to join us online or in person at Sunday’s service.
10/24/2020 – Fall is here, and we are loving the weather. Construction is still in progress for our warehouse / walk-in cooler build. To all that is working on our expansion, thank you! The holidays are right around the corner and this year is defiantly not going to be the same. Our regular events this year have all been canceled and some pantry events as well this year. But we are still pushing through with your family and ours.
Our pantry is open every week from 7-9 AM. There has been some confusion that Three Square has been informing guests that we are open till 10 AM. This is incorrect. The walk-up pantry is the same hours as the drive through. Please note, if you drive, you must go through the line. Some have been parking and walking up to the walk-up pantry. Please do not do this. Security will notice and have you go back to the line like all other guests.
We are still stocked and have plenty to help your pantry. Please come if you are in need. We love you and thank you for coming this week.
10/17/2020 – Thank you all for visiting us today. The pantry is currently in growth mode and we are under construction. We had 7 cement trucks to fill in a portion of the back area and to expand the warehouse floor and double the size. Check out our story about the expansion.
We love our guests and hope you and your family are pulling through these hard times we are all experiencing. To serve our community in in faith, and pantry needs, we are always here for you.
If you have questions about the pantry, please fill out the contact form at the bottom of the page.
Also welcome all new and returning volunteers. A shout out to Calvin for coming today and helping. Every hand is one hand closer to making TCMI Pantry what it is today.
10/11/2020 – It was a short but sweet day this last Saturday. We were done with serving the guest before closing time. This was greatly unexpected and happy to see that the need to a box has dropped. Remember, if you are needing food, please do not hesitate to come and receive one. Therefore, we are here to help. TCMI Pantry does not want to see or hear that our neighbors are struggling to put a square meal on the table for the family. Our warehouse remodel is going well. The inside is still in the process of being gutted for our new walk-in cooler. We will update with a story about it later in the month or early November. It was great to see our regular guests as your smiles make our day. Until next week. Stay safe.
10/3/2020 – With summer coming to a close, the pantry is still moving forward with upgrades and changes. Please excuse out mess in the rear as we started our new walk-in cooler project and warehouse expansion. The construction will be running through the end of October. Please watch around you as you drive through the rear to receive your box. The ID scanning has been put on hold until future notice. We were overconfident that we could register you all in and keep the line moving at a normal pace. Well this is something that we are not able to do. To the ones that filled out the forms, please do keep them as we will be asking for them when we restart the ID scanning. See you next week!
9/26/2020 – The show must go on. We had some communication issues this morning as we started the new digital registration process. This has caused some to be registered and most had not. We would like to apologize to our guests for the issue today. We will be announcing again when we will start the registration process up again. We hope to streamline the process which it will not take so long to get people registered. Remember, we do care about you and hope to see you again next week if are in need.
9/21/2020 – We are just warming up! The new ID scan process started last Saturday. We passed out the registration for for all of out guests to fill out and bring back next Saturday. Please do bring it or you will have to pull off to the side to fill it out. The amount of guests are increasing over the weeks. The line went down to Ann road again which was prepared for. We have enough food to feed our guests so no worries. While in line, we ask our guests to no allow children to play in the parking lot while cars are moving. This is a safety concern. See you all next Saturday.
9/12/2020 – The numbers keep rising and we are keeping up! Thank you all for coming this week to the TCMI Pantry. The pantry has been receiving donations from private companies and Three Square; We thank you! Lots of changes going on at TCMI. Monday we will be starting our TCMI Academy. We are excited to change lives and guide our youth to a more rewarding schooling then the traditional public school.
As you have been reading week after week. The digital registration and check in process was to begin this week, well we had a one-week setback which has been resolved. We WILL be starting this upcoming week. Please remember, we will require a passport or an ID to register you for you one and only registration. After that, it’s just scan and go.
9/7/2020 – Thank you all for coming this week. This next week 9/12/20, TCMI Pantry will be starting the new ID check-in registration process. This registration fills out the required information to participate in the Three Square food assistance program. The information that we require is ID, Name, DOB, email, Dependents by age, and if you receive any public assistance. The program registration is required to receive a box from the program. When you arrive, you will be handed a form. While in line, you will have time to fill it out in full. If the form is not filled out, we will have to have you pull out of the line and fill it out. This is the only time you will have to fill it out unless you have a change in information. The changes can be made when you check in future visits on the fly. A leadership member will receive your form and then scan your ID, or passport. This will register your ID into your information so the next time you visit the pantry, you will not have to fill out the form again. It’s as easy as scan and go! We understand that some might push back to this change, but we have to follow the Three Square requirements so they can get a proper counts while it help with funding and food supply orders. If you can prepare this information prior to arriving, this will be helpful while you are filling out the form.
8/30/2020 – As summer comes to an end, the heat will hopefully go with it. Thank you volunteers for all that you do! There are so many guests passing through the pantry drive through thanking the volunteers at the pickup point. We thank you for visiting the pantry. As a reminder, we are changing over to the ID system. Yes, we have tested it out, but found we needed to modify it to our needs. In the next few weeks, we will be starting the new process. Please make sure that you bring you ID.

Our house is your house and is always open to serve when needed.

That is a large increase in people needing food for their pantry. Well we ramped up our output and doubled our volunteers during the week to accommodate this increase. We are looking for more volunteers for our weekly prep. This is Monday – Friday and it starts at 8:30 AM. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our volunteer section below. We been seeing an increase of guest cutting in line while waiting in your car. Please don’t do this, as we hear it all and see it all.

Our leadership team has come up with a new volunteer sign up form for our Saturday pantry. If you are a current volunteer, you can use it to schedule your spot.

And lastly, please respect one another and remind yourself that your neighbor needs help too. We are all working together to get through this hard time. Thank you. Stay safe.
3/17/2020 – The TCMI Pantry is at this time not able to take orders for online delivery and pickup. Any guests that have put in an order for delivery or pick up, will be processed. Until future notice TCMI is only doing 100% drive through pantry only. This will be done via entering with your car through the west side of the building. Pull up on the west side of the building. A volunteer will meet you at your car and will take your name to sign in. Once you are signed in, you will pull forward and around to the back of the church and a box of food will be either placed in the car for you or you can grab it outside of the car if you are sick. PLEASE DO TELL THE SIGN IN VOLUNTEER IF YOU ARE SICK AT CHECK IN. The normal pantry process will be closed until further notice. The Senoir Pantry has been canceled on Fridays and has moved to Saturdays. This is to accomidate the large needs for drive up pantry. We expect our amount of guests to double or tripple in the next coming weeks. Please read the noice below about the CORVID-19 Leadership Response. *****NOTICE*****
