How it works…

Love INC Carver County works hard at nurturing relationships with churches, school districts, government agencies and other service organizations to identify unmet needs that emerge in the community. We mobilize the 30+ local churches in our network to build ministries that fill these gaps in local services so that neighbors get the help and hope they need.

We also serve with government agencies and other local charities by accepting referrals from them of people who need our help. When these organizations cannot provide assistance inside the scope of their resources, mandates and protocols neighbors in need get referred to Love INC. As well, when Love INC cannot meet a person’s needs, we will refer them to other service agencies who can.

1. “I need help.”  A person in need calls or emails the Love INC Help Line and requests help.

2. Compassion.  A Love INC staff or volunteer caringly listens to identify all of the caller’s needs and determines how we can best provide help.

3. Hope. Next, set in motion are the various “Gap Ministries” who will deliver whatever living essentials we are able to provide directly to our clients.

4. Community. Love INC staff and volunteers follow-up with every client to encourage, care and offer further support or referrals as needed.
