Double Your Impact with TWK’s 2026 Annual Conference Offering

Through a partnership with the Tennessee-Western Kentucky (TWK) Conference and ENCORE Ministry Foundation (EMF), funds from this year’s TWK’s Annual Conference offering, along with matching funds from EMF, will be combined to use for a limited number of one-time special food security grants. The number of grants awarded will be based on the amount of the conference offering and matching funds. TWK churches with existing feeding ministries are encouraged to apply by June 30, 2026. Grants will be awarded in late July or early August.

With the matching funds from EMF, now is the time to double your impact with your annual conference offering. Please consider giving generously when the offering is taken.
On the third Thursday of every month in Lafayette, Tennessee, cars begin lining up hours before the doors open at Lafayette United Methodist Church. Some arrive early because they’ve been before. Others come because they’re unsure if there will be enough. Many wait quietly—not just for food, but for reassurance that they are not alone.
