Love Inc operates a clearinghouse where we receive requests for help from individuals in need. Volunteers assess and screen needs and match them with church and community resources. We spend time with each caller to gain an understanding of their long-term as well as immediate needs, establish a relatinship and offer prayer. Though financial need is often the presenting problem, we have found that it can become a steppingstone to addressing larger areas such as employment, transportation and financial management.
Many individuals want to move beyond their present circumstances but need the encouragement and guidance of others to do so. Clearinghouse volunteers provide:
- Needs Assessment
- Prayer
- Information and Referrals (to local ministries and agencies)
- Reentry Support
- Life Coaching
- Budget Counseling
- Job Search Assistance
