Love bundles provides personal essentials, such as clothes and toiletries, to children impacted by poverty. The jlt also provides community support through grants and volunteers for community action recipients, grants for enabling fund recipients, and volunteers for volunteer at large recipients.

Family health day began as an attempt to combat the "summer slide" when students have less access to educational programming and supplemental nutrition. The event has evolved over the years to feature additional healthcare offerings such as complimentary vision checks, diabetes screenings and education and youth athletic clinics for crossfit and basketball. In addition to these resources, jlt volunteers also provide food, books and diapers to attendees. The jlt's human trafficking awareness project seeks to end human trafficking by spreading awareness throughout the tampa bay area, with the help of community partners and government organizations.
