Our Programs
Have a need or know a neighbor who is in need? Contact LOVE INC.
The first thing you’ll hear is the voice of a caring staff member or 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.
Connection Center
The Love INC Connection Center 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 Connection Center.
Gap Ministries
Love INC identifies gaps in services and resources in the community and helps churches develop ministries to “fill in the gaps” not being met by agencies or the government.
These Gap Ministries constantly grow and evolve as needs become known. Most Love INC networks include a wide array of Gap Ministries. Love INC helps coordinate these ministries by procuring items from the entire network to supply these outreaches with the resources they need. Love INC then refers verified needs through its Connection Center to the ministry. Love INC also helps promote the Gap Ministry to the community and facilitates sharing of best practices to grow the ministry.
Here are some of the ways we fill the gaps:
- CarePortal
- Clothing vouchers
- Connections to local agencies and community resources
- Crozet Community Resources
- Household items and furniture
- Laundry services
- Personal care products
- Relational help
- Transformation Ministry
Transformation Ministry
Debt, substance abuse, abusive relationships, and a history of bad choices in life are all roadblocks to the lives that God wants for us. Like giants, our troubles frighten us, imprison us, and keep us from something better. The good news is that God is more powerful than any giant, and He wants to help you claim your best life.
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 submit your prayer request here.
