How Love INC Works

Love INC is a collection of volunteer individuals and groups who put their love for Christ into action towards their local community.

Love INC utilizes the central office model and includes the following basic steps:

1. Receive request for help. Love INC receives requests for help by telephone from churches and pastors, agencies, individuals and families.

2. Assess the need. Specially trained Love INC volunteers or staff screen the request for extent of need and legitimacy, and discover any deeper issues fueling the crisis. Love INC determines what help the client has already received from agencies or churches, and ensures the need is manageable and specific.

3. Refer to help. The request is referred to the most appropriate Love INC partner church, agency, or faith-based organization and the need is met.

4. Follow up. Love INC reviews the outcome. Was the immediate need met? Is there a core issue that requires longer-term attention? The follow-up also provides an opportunity for the recipient to become connected to a local church if he or she so desires.
