How We Can Help
Our Programs
Have a need? Call Love INC. The first thing you’ll hear is the voice of a caring, well equipped volunteer from one of our partner churches. A volunteer who will take the time to listen and care for you; who will inquire about the presenting need, but also explore the broader context of your situation. Everything we do revolves around relationships because Love INC isn’t just about meeting needs, it’s about meeting people where they are at, and helping them achieve their God-given potential. Here are a few of the ways we do that in our community.
Clearinghouse
The Love INC Clearinghouse takes many requests for help each year. These calls are answered by caring volunteers who listen to understand people’s situations and direct them to the most appropriate source of help. This can mean a referral to an area agency or services provided by area churches and volunteers through the Clearinghouse.
Homes of Hope
Love INC partners with home-owners and churches to provide longer-term, affordable rentals to Love INC families who agree to meet with budget mentors and work towards following a spending and savings plan.
Fresh Start Classes
Fresh Start classes offer learning opportunities around an array of topics, from Bible studies to budgeting. These classes allow Love INC families to engage with a facilitator and other class members in order to grow mentally and spiritually.
Gap Ministries
Love INC helps churches build ministries to fill the gaps in services by identifying unmet needs in the community. From baby cribs to financial management classes, we help churches organize services and products to meet real needs without duplicating existing resources. Yet, what is offered is much more than products and services, our relational approach ensures that each person is seen as an individual and offered prayer, encouragement, and ongoing connection.
Looking for Help With a Need?
Thank you for reaching out to Love INC. At this time, our affiliate is still in development and not yet open to receive requests for assistance. We are working with local churches to build the relationships, volunteers, and systems needed to serve neighbors well once the ministry launches.
While we are not yet able to provide direct assistance, we care deeply about you and want to help point you toward support that may be available to you.
Here are some ways to find help right now:
- findhelp.org -Search for local resources by ZIP code
- 211 Helpline – Call or visit 211.org for connections to community services
- Community Action Agencies – Many offer assistance with utilities, housing, food, and other needs
Please know that we are praying for you and trust that you will find the resources and support you need during this season. When Love INC opens in your community, we look forward to serving neighbors through the love and support of local churches.
If you have questions about Love INC or would like to learn more about how churches and volunteers come together to care for their neighbors, please find that information on the About Us page.
Prayer Requests
Prayer is an integral part of who we are. Before we start our day, our meetings, or answer any phone calls… we pray. This gives God the opportunity to guide us on what He wants us to do. And we’re never disappointed. Would you like someone to pray for or with you? Please contact your local church Love INC representative.
Our website is currently under development.
