Feeding Hungry Longhorns – Tailgate Tuesday September 2026

Q – How do you feed 400+ Hungry Longhorns?

A – One cheeseburger at a time.

One of the food ministries of Lutheran Campus Ministry (LuMin) at UT Austin is Tailgate Tuesday. Hosting means we provide the funds to purchase the food and supplies for the meal and workers to make it happen along with some UT students.

Eight TLLC members participated in Tailgate Tuesday at Lutheran Campus Ministry at the University of Texas (LuMin) on September 29.  After grabbing a quick burger for themselves and Pastor Brad, the group fired up four grills and worked with about 10 students from the UT Natural Resources Council to feed the herd.  These students volunteer their time and have interesting stories about how they came to UT and their ambitions for the future. One student shared how she had recently become a US citizen but was still fearful of being caught up in an immigration raid.

It took nearly two hours to share the food and then it took a short while to clean everything.

A special treat for the students this Tailgate Tuesday was getting a goody bag prepared by TLLC members during our God’s Work Our Hands effort.

TLLC will be hosting a Tailgate Tuesday at the end of the spring semester and serve pancakes.  If you are interested in getting a notice of the event, e-mail info@tllc.org and ask to be place on the Tailgate Tuesday list.
