Meeting Unmet Needs
The network churches of Love INC respond to needs in our community that are NOT being met by other agencies. These unmet needs emerge out of hardship, barriers and disadvantages that our neighbors experience. Our partner churches have served over 12,500 volunteer hours and met over 4,100 needs in 2023. Here’s some of what we do:
