A very warm welcome to the TAPTF Society’s January Newsletter! With the New Year comes a fresh beginning, a chance to reset, refocus, and recommit to what truly matters. As we turn the page on the 2025, many of us are looking for meaningful ways to start the year with purpose. And there’s no better way to begin than by doing good together, lifting neighbors, nourishing hope, and turning small acts of kindness into real change for those who need it most. But before we turn to the future, let’s take a look at everything we accomplished in the previous year. Meals Delivered |
As you can see from our handy chart, our volunteers and donors enabled us to deliver a truly incredible 40,735 meals in 2025 beating our 2024 total by over 5,000 meal deliveries. When we started in 2020, we could not have imaginedthe progress we would make in 5 years. And we could not have achieved it without the help of our volunteers and donors, like you. Journeys begin with a single step and small acts of kindness really do add up, and they create ripples of real and meaningful change. The community we have built and served out of our humble kitchen is direct evidence of that, it is undeniable!
We hope that you will join us in celebrating our achievements in the last year and resolving to make small changes in your own corner of the world because your help matters.
Our friend Julie has two events coming up to help you enter the New Year with a clean slate. The first event is January 9th, this Friday, at the Laurel Public Library where Julie will lead a discussion on how to take those first steps toward downsizing your clutter and organizing your home safely and efficiently. Registration is strongly encouraged and you can reserve your spot by visiting the library’s website HERE.

Choosing to volunteer in 2026 is a powerful way to start the New Year with intention and purpose. The United Nations has officially proclaimed 2026 as International Volunteer Year or IVY 2026, a global movement aimed at igniting community spirit and recognizing volunteerism as a key element for more sustainable planet. By committing to a cause now, you would join millions worldwide in a historic effort to strengthen social fabrics and foster collective resilience together. Starting your volunteer journey can be remarkably easy, with most roles requiring no special skills beyond compassion and a positive attitude. At the TAPTF Society, volunteering comes along with new skill building as well. Want to learn more about gardening? Join one of our community garden initiatives.
