TLC would like to thank the National Honor Society of Blue
Valley High School for volunteering to coordinate a food, clothing
and gift card drive to benefit TLC. This group of students worked
extremely hard and were able to donate over $1,000 in food, brand
new clothing and gift cards to the children and youth served by TLC.
We are always delighted to see local teenagers giving back to the
community in a positive way! Thank you!

Charitable gift
annuities have become popular because they offer the opportunity to
make a meaningful gift that might not otherwise be possible. The
minimum gift requirement is quite modest. Typically, donors are able
to increase their fixed income, save taxes up front and, at the same
time, support a charitable cause like TLC.
