Love INC's Defining Difference: Focusing on the person, not just the need.
We build relationships with those that we work with. We listen to their story. We walk alongside them during their struggles and together we find solutions, hope and peace. This takes time, trust, patience...it also is the fine line between keeping someone stuck in their need or truly giving someone a hand up. Our clients are worth more than a gas card, clothing, personal care items, a pair of shoes or a washer and dryer. We believe in recognizing their value. Encouraging their unique gifts and talents. Emphasizing mutual participation. Empowering those individuals to take the steps necessary to heal from the past and move forward to the future God has for them. |

Prayer is a vital part of who we areIt's how we start our day, our meetings, before we answer any phone calls...we pray. This gives God the opportunity to guide us on what He wants us to do. We're never disappointed.
