Editor’s note: The Daily Reporter is partnering with the Hancock County Community Foundation to highlight local nonprofit organizations in the community, what they offer and how they could enhance their services through additional funding from Match Day.
Featured Match Day Participant: Love INC
Executive director: Debra Weber
Mission: Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC) of Greater Hancock County’s mission is to mobilize local churches to transform lives and communities in the name of Christ.
Community offerings: Love INC is a proven model that networks local churches, church volunteers, and community organizations to help people in need, leading to reduction of overlapping and duplicate delivery of services. The organization’s clientele is anyone who is in need of financial assistance, household maintenance or items like furniture, gas, home entrance ramps or baby supplies. People with immediate needs call into the Clearinghouse (the foundation of Love INC) where requests are verified, then referred to local churches, service organizations, and volunteers for assistance. Where possible, people receive support through local churches or local community organizations. Those desiring sustainable lifestyle changes can also participate in the transformational or relational ministries programs.
Match Day funding plans: Love INC plans to use proportional grant dollars to help with recurring monthly expenses. The expenses categories will be salaries, property maintenance, and general expenses.
